Spring Clamps
Anyone used these as a cheap way to lower your vehicle?

Short term, cheap, unreliable, sure.
Invest in good springs instead.

My $0.02

definitely not safe.
that is pretty crazy. a set of king springs are only like 100ish dollars a set.

Im pretty sure you are only meant to use them to actually get the springs in/out and off the struts. I sure as hell wouldn't leave them in.
Your freedom ends where mine begins
lol, on the ol' dodgyness scale of 1 to 10, I'd say they rate about a 8.5. 10 being the dodgyness value given to cut springs.
My opinion, just by some springs... lol
Jizz in my pants
But the ones to compress springs are usually way larger than that and compress a few coils instead of just 1, but all the same dodgy as hell, buy some springs. I can't imagine springs would last to long with this on them whilst being driven.Originally Posted by shiftySLE

You tell him (coz you are right)
Yeah its dodgy as hey. I wasn't planning on doing this, just wondering if anyone else had used them. lol
Are you serious man? Last time i checked a set of kings were around $250
go in Luxury
theyve come down in price due to popularity
Does anyone cut their stock springs?

yeah man, then you realise how shit the ride is and end up going and getting kings etc or just going back to stock height.
Where can i buy some king springs? Apart from ebay, because they are like $250 on there

Not on this forum they don't, and if they do, they won't admit to it.

Just go out and buy some springs, you can get them on ebay, autobarn, repco, burons, most mechanics and most suspension places.

kings springs are cheap commodore fronts trade price $75 a set but they are not paired from factory like pedders springs are . spend the extra money on pedders springs guaranteed height and very little sag.. as for the spring clamps they are for show only not legal for road use as are cut springs not legal for road use .
Thanks mate, yeah thats what i thought. I just gave myself 2 upper cuts for even asking the question.
