"From a practical point, I don't believe anyone has ever proven that Parker hammerless coil springs suffer significantly from long-term compression. Do you jack up your car and put it on blocks when you go on vacation?"

Well...putting your car on blocks is a lot of trouble. Clicking your triggers is super easy.

Things sag over time. Some more than others. Insert your favorite famous actress joke here.

There are bunches of old cars - let's say from the 50's/60's etc. that sit lower than they did new on account of saggy springs. Theoretically...I don't wanna get into a theoretical argument but rather the 'reality' is coil springs lose their 'boingyness' over time when left under compression. How much is another whole topic.
