I have looked into getting the front trunk springs manufactured.
I believe there are two different variants, but this is the sample that I gave the guy.  Edit: I just want to add, that powder coating these springs will amount to some tension loss. I dont know the science behind it, that is just what the spring manufacturer told me. We would be looking at selling a set for $60. Is this a product that would be of interest at this price point?
