Not sure, but thinking that they will just bent right back to out of spec. Once you bend metal, it bends back easier.

Because they are a type of spring steel, designed to hold a particular shape. If you could bend them back to specs, what do you think would happen when you install them? They would bend right back.

To put this in a different perspective, ask the same question about the springs in the suspension, you'll get the idea.
