    Default Discussion on lowering clamps.

    What is your guys' opinion on lowering clamps, that attach to the springs and compress them down, instead of buying lowering springs (maybe you're on a budget, etc.)

    Questionable performance and ride quality?

    Oh trust me, I know. He's like, "so you don't spend a ton of money on your car" as if I'm gonna throw away my Nova. Yeah, it may be a piece of crap, but it's my piece of crap and I love the coal rolling, snail powered little shite.

    Dangerous! decent second hand lowering springs can be purchased and fitted for peanuts.
