So, I haven't been out as much as I would have liked to recently, but I think that a lot of that has been because when I fist started trying to jump, my springs were quite stiff.
Since then, I've absent-mindedly left my bocks in my card for several weeks in the sun and now they seem to be much "softer." I'm definately not complaining I just wanted to get the general opinion on whether you guys thinkg that the heat from being in my car is to blame for the change in stiffness or whether you think it's some other factor I'm not thinking of.

Heat can affect Glassfibre but they also loosen up after a while anyway
Probably a mixture of you getting fitter and the springs softening
Another thought have you weighed yourself recently as a 5kg increase will also cause it

Weight could be the issue. I don't remember what I weighed when I got them, but right now I'm at 106 Kgs and the springs are rated at 101Kg
