Hi guys,

I was thinking of trying something that would lower the car more just to see what it would look like and be able to easily reverse it if I hated it. It's called "universal coil spring control." Its basically spring brackets that tighten and compress the springs that can be loosened or tightened with a wrench to lower or raise.

Has anyone tried these? Bad idea with progressive rate springs? Just curious.

My car is a third car and I am really fit to be tied between ride comfort and LOOKS.

Are these like two brackets with threaded rods going through them and nuts to set where the brackets sit in the coils?

I've used them on older cars before (always to raise a spring up). They worked OK (I wouldn't use them on a nice car with nice springs though) but they dont do a whole lot in terms of changing the height.

It's too bad no one makes really low profile spring isolators. Those would work nicely for ya Keith. You'd keep your given-spring-height (whatever came from the spring factory) but you'd get some drop out of it.
