Regardless, fabricating a fixture and doing it yourself (time/labor) or finding a spring shop to re-roll the eyes for you ($) seems like a long way to go for the small amount of drop you will achieve. In post #15 Bassman's frame is Z'd; all Model A frames will require some fabrication and welding anyway so think how you want the car to sit and Z the frame accordingly.

What he said. I spoke to a spring specialist about this and he said rolling the eyes the opposite way is bad practice, they can crack.
