Just a thought, an old trick I remember from some of the guys in the SCCA. Auto -Crossers in early VW Golfs and Hondas put the springs in the oven at 500 degrees F. for some hours, which as I understand it relaxed the spring by SMALL intervals. I believe this gave them very specific ride heights with a variety of wheel combinations.

I have not done this, and am no expert. Just putting it out there for discussion.
