Default heat them? what do you mean?
I think the only proper thing to do is to get new springs (and possibly shocks) when it comes to lowering your car.

Default Very bad
You don't get a consistent spring rate or free length. Results will be uneven ride height, and usually soft springs with mismatched spring rates.

Default it's not bad
if you're driving a '92 souped up Civic.

But seriously, don't do it.
