No reason why re-arched springs would perform any differently than original. The metallurgy isn't changed. They did get into the yield range when re-arched, but not enough to affect the fatigue life of the base metal. If they were re-arched multiple times (like 100), then it might be a different story. That statement is a marketing ploy, IMO.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
