I keep telling you people NOT to buy from you know where.

But as far as having the springs re-worked? Forgetaboutit.
I already brought chinese steel springs to a shop, they said they were
junk and full of impurities from the dung fired forges and that they
would happily make me new springs out of good ole US steel.

Yes your springs were made by "British Spring Co LTD in the UK" But....
The sticker should say ASSEMBLED in the UK out of chinese steel FOR
British Spring Co LTD.
The spring shop showed me the chinese letters on stamped on the springs.
