Heaps of Coil Spring Locks that allow you too lower your car for under $80... I got excited then I questioned shit. Are these dodgy?? Has anyone used them? Do they root your suspension? Please someone reply before I go ebay crazy and buy them!!! Laughing

Cheers.

Tim. Cool

Damnabbit. I thought I'd come across some cheap wonderous invention that no one had heard of yet. Oh, well... I guess you get what you pay for. Sad

Does anyone know of anyone who has put them on there car??

Basically a smaller version of a spring compressor

Hmmm... Maybe I should buy a few sets and go to Hot4's fourms, they'd sell like hotcakes....

Dodgeeeeeeee.....

read the note on ebay under the info section below the springlocks that says NOT LEGAL IN MOST STATES Rolling Eyes
suspension is what keeps your car on the road so make sure you do it properly Very Happy

What about those kits that slip onto your shocks turning them into a adjustable coil over??????? How dodgy are those?

I know for sure that spring shackles or whatever your gonna call them are illegal in NSW and probably most other states.

Your life is worth more then a cheap lowering job.....
