Lower your vehicle the right or better way.

I know alot about steel and I know that that clamp was not designed to do what you are trying to do with it. That clamp will rust apart in 6 months. Its not even galvanized, much less hardened stainless steel. Even if it was, its still not designed to support lateral loads. You dont even have the plastic spring rest installed so your spring is not sitting even on the strut. What you are doing (and you can believe what you want and drive it all day) is dangerous and I hope it doesnt have a deadly result for you or anyone who is riding with you or driving around you.

I suggest that no one attemp this mod!! Buy the correct parts and dont try and be cheap about the suspension components.

Btw, the clamps are SS. And agian, they are NOT holding the load. To add, the springs are not being supported by "cheap" plastic carriers. They are metal. If you look closely at the photo, you will clearly see them. Again, this is not my first rodeo, folks. I'd track you on the twists any day. Like this guy said, don't try this at home. It is very clear that most of you on this post are NOT experienced in custom fabrication. Just because they sell it to you for a ridiculous price. . . anyways, cheers )

I like pics as much as the next guy.

SMH.....what is the front lower spoiler brand?

This is almost becoming as ridiculous as me defending my fender vents, saying they are a custom fabrication... although I'm no where near as serious about it

I may only read at a first grade level but even I can understand basic physics and what Force is. When the shock compresses do you really think no force is applied to that clamp? Being that it is sitting directly under the spring? Have you ever squeezed a spring in your hands? There is force being generated. Think about Newton's law of equal and opposite force. When your car hits a bump the shock compresses, force is generated causing the shock to then expand. It is not about how much weight the clamp is holding it is more about how much force the clamp is being subject to.

Re-read all of my replies- the clamp has an extremely small amount of work to do. As a matter of fact, research Bilstein shock designs. Mine uses the perch set clip. It is very very simple to understand. Even Newton can figure this one out. Thanks

Sorry, my mistake. Because you say it's not doing a lot of work it must not be! Maybe YOU should research valving, newtons and how they apply to your shocks. You would be surprised how much force is being generated through the shock.

Don"t follow this guys advice. I am closing this topic
