Look what happens to every coil spring when it is made at the factory:

When the winding is complete, the spring is CUT. This is a brand new spring, and it is a CUT spring.
In fact, every coil spring must be CUT, or it would be infinitesimally long. All you ignorant fucks are.riding on CUT coil springs.

I have an old matress to get rid of. Thinking of tearing the springs out of it and running them on the GTR.

That must come as quite a surprise to those with torsion bars and/or leaf springs.

Springs cannot be created or destroyed, they can only be cut.

No, you just make baby springs.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
