The wire diameter is larger and hot winding allows the coil to be wound with greater precision even though the wire diameter is larger.

You can talk to a lot of coil experts. If you speak to an engineer that believes in hot winding, you will be convinced that hot wind is the best solution. The same would be true of a cold wind believer. Pedders coilver coils (special motorsport alloy) are cold wound. Our Sports Ryder lowering coils (larger diameter wire) are hot wound.

ok call me dumb but..... are you telling me that my set up was wound hot so that could have caused them to sagg? sorry if i am not getting the point. i know nothing specific about springs and coils. i know with the right set up you can get better handling performance and different ride comfort and same goes with coil overs. but with a more stiff ride and way better handling then just springs. soo yeah thats what i know. lol
