Spring Coil Clamps...

[JonWeichel]

Wondering if i should put Spring Coil Clamps on my car for a cheap way of lowering...I cant afford the "Right" way to lower a car...so im wondering how much of a risk it is to throw these on my car...i heard they can give a much more bumpy ride..but how bad does it hurt the springs??? Anyone have em installed?? and has advice??? Thanks!

[Grims01GT]

haven't heard anything good about coil over stuff. I'd save and do it "right"

[OneFstGt]

I understand were your coming from cause im hard up for money to. But like Grimso1gt said, save and do it the right way. It will save you a lot of headaches in the long run.

had them on my other car...had to do cheap way....gave alil bumpy ride....but it didnt bring the car down low enough, also watch ur struts if u do decide to do this, i was paranoid the whole time of blowing them..

this is another one of those "will a 3800 fit in my car" type of theads where theres one answer.
dont to it, period. if you dont have the money, then dont mod your car.

Save your money for lowering springs or go stock height, not worth it to rig something so important in your car.

Agreed, gotta pay to play.

Eibachs are not nearly as expensive as damage resulting from a snapped spring.

Wait until you have the funds to do it correctly... you or the car wont die at the stock height...

[Matt95GT]

Don't do it.

as far as lowering springs i have them on my car with gas struts an it rides good

[JonWeichel]

Yah so i cam to the conclusion, not puttin them on my car...ive been lookin up some lowering springs...there not as expensive as i thought...anybody know how hard they are to install? is it just an easy swap?

[Nighthawk243]

Well... define "easy"

I know for certain that you'll definately need a spring compressor to remove the fronts (you can rent them). As far as the back, I cannot say since I'm not certain what the 04's used in the rear. I know the rears are stupidly simple to remove in the GM Delta Platform, but thats about it.

[JonWeichel]

Aright thanks for the info!!

[Matt95GT]

Also remember that you'll need an alignment when finished, and possible camber bolt kit for adjustment. Your struts aren't that old, but it is also wise to change them at the same time as the springs. I tried to do lowering springs the cheap way too... and it wasn't nearly as cheap as I thought, and struts came back to haunt me later cause I didn't change them.

[cardude007617]

plus arent the KYB's supposedly "better" that a stock strut?

[Matt95GT]

They will withstand the abuse of lowering springs a tad better.

haven't heard anything good about coil over stuff. Coil overs and spring clamps aren't the same thing .
