Spring Clamps

[Robbo VS3]

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

Short term, cheap, unreliable, sure.

Invest in good springs instead.

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.

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

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.

 

[Robbo VS3]

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

 

[Torquative]

theyve come down in price due to popularity

Does anyone cut their stock springs?
