Would these actually work to lower the car?

 

[Gally]

i cannot see that being a good idea.

 

[MillerLight]

prob. but over time i'd think they will munch there way through them and you would need new springs

 

[DamoWales]

Probably, until you hit a corner at 30mph

 

[willynwilson]

how long over time do you reckon? just something to have until next year

 

[Hazza]

Think they are only good for people putting the car on a show stand, rather than for performance wise.

:/:/:/ pikey ftw

 

[Hazza]

Think its about the same level has cutting down springs

 

[Laura]

i cant see those being ok for an MOT

plus if you use them there is no spring left in the coils that are clamped together.. kill your shocks in a day

 

[Lagerlout]

It's not like springs are that expensive anyway. That is pretty f**king pikey tbh.

 

[willynwilson]

ive got springs, just that im not sure if i can insure them

 

[Spark]

i lopped a coil off my rear and a mechanic fitted them and put it thrrough an mot

been about for 325 years now, caravan spring clamps for the serious modder/nova owner

s**t - buy proper springs

 

[Dan R]

I wouldnt ever ever even consider fitting something as dangerous looking as those. Just buy springs or leave the suspension alone

 

[Turkish]

As above. TBH these things have been discussed on the forum before but I can't find the thread in question. I wouldnt even get in a car with them fitted let alone put them on a car I owned. IMO avoid like the plague.

 

[daviebroon]

i think you should buy them imo. Dont listen to people on here.

maybe a group buy?

[daydotz]

read the questions haha

 

[D1CKY]

read the questions haha

Just have.

And someone can't spell.

"how much wood it lower the car by "

Lol :rasp:

Definetely worth staying away from, there for caravans, trailers etc i think to stop cars wheels scuffing arches, suspension etc when loaded up.


Definetely not for lowering permantly, imagine flying round the backroad and one pops off and bang your in the ditch :rasp:

Just buy proper lowering kit or springs

And wouldn't space be tight for fitting these inside the Ph2 clios front arches ?

 

[Cro]

Its not even that cheaper! £10 per spring thats 40 for the car, could easily get a set of sh*t springs for that

 

[pinky]

Very frigging strange imo.
Plus they only lower by 3-5 cm.

1: Donovan (a set of 12, think ill put 4 on each spring in the rear)
