I travel a lot and sometimes my H/C car sits for two or three weeks at a time.
Is this bad for the double spring life?

Don't worry. I work around alot of Marine V8's and they are stored for up to and beyond 6 months at a time. Many are big hp solid roller motors with twice the spring pressure your engine has.

i would also say that you will probably be fine just let the engine warm up completely before taking it for a drive. and dont rev the hell out of the motor trying to get it to warm up faster.
