heat effect on coil overs
I am about to install a Jaguar rear suspension into my 36 chev pickup. I want to know if I powder coat the coils springs will the heat used in the powder coat process affect the tension in the springs

Powder away, the heat cure is only in the 300's. Your springs
will not know it. This is the common way to paint springs.

Seems to hold on there fairly well. I've got some out there that were installed 4 or 5 years ago, powdercoat on the springs and A-Arms seems to be holding up quite well....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Awesome, I will put 5 quarts in when the time comes. I've always used Valvoline, what viscosity would be recommended for So.Cal.?, and thanks again
