Have you guys heard of a lowering kit that has clamps that tightens a couple of your springs down and it drops your car 1 to 2 inches. A couple of my friends have done it and they want me to. Im not sure how safe this is and was wondering if anyone has tryed it?. They are called coilover clamps and are like $20 to lower your car

Do your friend drive cars that would be considered "rice"?

Sounds like a very dumb idea to me. Lowering ride height without stiffer springs = teh bad.

Horrible idea. If you want to save a few bucks without cutting corners on quality, save a search into eBay for some (used) Eibach pro kit springs (or similar -- Pro Kit is good 'cos widely used). You will end up paying likely 1/3 the price of new (or less) and install a quality product on your car. Regarding your original question, I'd cut my stock springs before doing that. Just my opinion...

Thats even more ghetto than cut springs. Besides, I don't think they would work because we don't have coilovers.

Yeah, it is a bad idea probably,one of my friends has a neon and did it. He said that it dont ride to bad and it did drop it, but its kinda ghetto. i think im going to wait, used springs sounds like a good idea if i can get them cheap enough, but i will probably just buy some new ones next month. Peeps were just trying to talk me into it.

Convince them to donate $20 a piece instead of ragging on you to clamp your springs
