They were cut and tapered with a band saw and then using a heat sync to
keep the heat concentrated in one place (to keep the coils from losing
temper, the tapered ends were heated and bent flat.
I ran them for 2 years on my race car before uprating to 450 pound front
springs.
I don't know what the spring rate is but I'd guess it is in the
neighborhood of 350 #.

Joe sez, >With all this talk about springs, I am reminded that I have a
pair
of
GT6 front springs that have had 2 full coils removed. If anyone wants
them, make an offer I can't refuse.<
But are they cut cold and grinded flat or heated and squashed flat, then
grinded more flat, since it is easier to grind when they have lost their
temper.
A little more info such as lbs. rating and resulting ride height might
influence a novice to make an offer.
This is pure conjecture, on my part.
