Default front spring delamination

doing an oil change last week-end and a little check-up after winter hibernation i do see that my front spring was starting delaminating by itself for any reason i have the suspension dropped 2 years a go may be this is the reason but anyway i will have to replace it for sure is it dangerous if i put like another few rides on it or look on a way to have it replaced it as soon as possible with a new one and what kind of job is it!!! did i need a corvette specialist to do it or any good skill mechanics will handle it... can you give me an idea on the procedure to replace it if you already do it on your rides thanks in advance!!! pat

I can barely read your post. Where is it delaminating? If it was rubbing the frame because of their work you could try and get them to buy you a new spring. Some hacks will lower it too much at the frame and then it hits the steel.

All my springs have air voids in the surface finish, I assume this isn't what you're talking about.
