Has anyone seen the spring clamp/expanders from Advanced auto that drop/lift the springs? Good or no? I know its ricer but for a drop for 8 bucks.

It would be about as safe as cutting the springs. I wouldn't do it. The factory springs are designed to have a certain amount of travel which the springs rate is tuned for. Lowering it with those or cutting the springs, you are shortening the travel without stiffening the spring to compensate = bad ride and performance and potentially unsafe.

Thats what I figured. I don't think it would be as bad as cutting the springs since in theory your lowering each spring the same distance. However I'm just gonna do the Progress springs and rear sways off of dezod.

I think you'll be happy you didn't go the other way.

Thats why I'm doing the Progress. I saw it on a RSX-S and it looked very high quality.
