Not familiar with the Cygnet, but most springs can and should be cold bent. Had springs made for my Starduster Too made by a heavy truck shop. When I needed more arch, he cold bent them and told me heat would ruin the spring temper.

Jim has the best answer. You can have it re-arched to get more bend. Shops that do that are somewhat common. Heating and rebending will increase the probability of failure, not sure you want that risk on your plane.
