Has anybody used spring clamps to lower their car? Ive heard good things about them and bad things. Right now a lowering kit is too much for me, I have to go the cheaper way.

Does anyone actually have any personal experience using these spring clamps, or are you simply replying with your gut feeling that spring clamps are not a good idea?......just wondering.
It would help if someone with any experience with these clamps would reply with their true testimony, instead of mere opinion.

It's just common sense. Each of these springs is helping to hold something like 850+lbs. Putting pressure on them in a way they weren't designed for might end up causing them to break.

I wouldn't call it a gut feeling as much as common sense/engineering judgment... basically, you are asking yourself this question:
1. should I force-use what I have, and keep it constantly stressed in an unnatural position
-or-
2. use something that is designed to do what I need it to

I may be wrong, but coil over kits are designed for use with coil over springs. And you are applying pressure on the ends of the springs, rather than somewhere in the middle.

Imagine what would happen if one of those clamps broke or failed while doing 100km/h, or going around a bend too fast.
If you want an actual testimony, there has gotta be people on some civic boards that have done it. Just look for pics of multicolored cars and 6" exhaust tips and oversized aluminum wingsBMG Cofounder who happens to be a Petrolsexual
