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?

Anyone know a good tool to stretch and place these springs? Maybe like a coil spring compressor just use it in reverse?

I challenger you do show how that can be easily done by hand. I have seen a method using a lever against the strut tower as a fumcrum point that looked doable. |

I've done it plenty of times. But I also have a manual winch mounted on my wall that makes installing and removing very easy. I think it was $12 at harbor freight. |
