The dire warnings I remember reading in HOT ROD when I
was in High School had to do with guys who couldn't be
bothered with removing the spring from the car.  They
just heated it up till it sagged to where they liked
it.  Of course it kept sagging for the next few weeks,
lower than they wanted...

See?  Hysteria. :-)

Like I said, the heat from the cutting torch will only
travel about 2" down the spring, doing no damage to
the rest of the coil.  The 2 inches that do  lose
temper will settle into the perch better then a
squarely cut end, which 
tends to poke into the perch.
