Heat is bad for springs so don't use a torch.
Cutoff wheel or hacksaw (if you want Popeye arms)
IIRC the Hondas don't have a flat end coil.
So all you have to do is re-align the perch.
I may be wrong though,
stay safe and do what you think is best,

True true. Whats a flat end coil? To me the coils looked the same as the Jeeps cept not as tightly wound.

dremd, Would figure that custom springs would cost a pretty penny. Never hurts to try though.
