With that said, I usually put my springs in a vibrator / tumbler for a while with corn cob media to polish them up a little.
The factory rebound spring has the ends ground flat, while the Wolff springs do not. It isn't *too bad* trying to install the Wolff 14 lb rebound spring, but for lesser weights the length is greater (more preload) and they are difficult to compress without them bending and going 'boinnngggg' across the room. Grinding the edges flat makes them alot easier to compress and install. That's probably why the factory does it.
