Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hello All! Got a call from the powdercoat shop today, bad news, my springs evidently had pads in between the leaves, melted out. I'm kinda thinking if that's what they do that they should have known it was at least possible. Does anyone know if these springs can or should be ran like this?
You can run them without, but I would take them apart and replace the pads. They are there for a reason. Either that, or buy new springs and sell the old ones. I’m quite happy with my Super Stock springs and they weren’t all that expensive.

Just my 2 cents.
