Would shot-peening stock springs have any benefit?
Call me dumb if you feel like it, but serioulsly would it? I'm considering putting my stock springs back on and selling my pro-kit springs. Trust me, I have my reasons. Well I simply want to know if there would be any benefit to shot-peening my stock ones compared to the cost of having it done.
I need to make my car more daily driveable. I'm also in need of a new pair of AGX shocks in the back as I caused them both to blow their seals (long story). I could sell my pro-kit to help make up for the cost and put my car's stock springs back on. My rear wheels are also pretty cambered out despite a .5 degree eccentric camber kit, so the reduced tire wear would also help. I would like to pursue suspension, but next time I'll just get coil-overs. The benefits I've had w/ the springs would be out-matched by some anti-sway bars too. I'm quite please with the pro-kit, I just need more practicallity.
Your car is not daily-drivable with the Pro-Kits? Gad, you must have really poor roads there in Houston. I've been daily-driving mine with 5.0/4.2kgmm springs on AGX both in New Jersey and here in Florida. Bumpy at times, but tolerable. Plus my camber isn't that bad at all - a bit out of line in the back, but nothing major.
I don't know how much you'd get for used Pro-Kit springs or if it would even come close to covering the cost of 2 new rear AGX. Maybe GR-2's instead, not much incentive to have AGX if you're going back to stock rates.
