bad, bad, bad idea. I'd say this is a worse idea than cutting your stock springs.

Springs can be had for as cheap as $120. If you can't afford $120, don't modify your car.

Actually, I've had my front springs heated too. Their ride was ok. But it was uneven so one of my tires is rubbing. Thank goodness for my coilovers. No more rubbing.
