and he reakons that he can get warrants with them!
Must be some blind guy dishing out warrants.

For those who can't see, they are clamps for your springs to lower it.

[snwtoy]

They certainly increase the chance of coilbinding ... can't see how theyd be legal

[2LTR Rona]

I would be HIGHLY surprised if you got a warrant with those on.

[AE82 FXGT]

I think he's he's full of it, no way would that get a warrant.

[big_boy]

what a crock or shit they in no way can be legal that guys just a tugger

[rallymazda]

the bigger lol is the guy bidding 84.00 for them

[Bling]

130 bucks now, its just like the air tornado.

"a fool and their money are soon parted"

They could be useful for temporary spring altering in a racing situation but thats just dodgy on the road and a waste of money.

you'd trust them on your car while you were racing?

[ollieboy]

No I don't know the quality of them and I dont trust the design. I would trust a better designed system for a short term fix while sorting out what springs are best. At some trackdays people jack up their car and put blocks of wood in certain coils to basically cut out that coil and make the car handle better. I've never done it and am not experienced enough to know what I'm doing to do it but i have seen other people do it and I was saying that these are similar to that method but a block of wood is cheaper.

lol who are those idiots , they shouldnt be at a racetrack, nor the road

[ollieboy]

Its quite accepted conduct at all the racedays I've been to.

[Voodoo]

what if the bit of wood falls out, and next car collects it?

[crispy'86]

or the spring cocks over mid corner and lunge the car off the track

[Voodoo]

or this, or that....

all seems very dodgy to me

[Ae92typeX]

nothing new really, been around for ages...never known anyone with them personally who got a wof though...

[Dunny]

whats that - back yard race days, how does one benefit from doing that, it would absolutely be no help at all in determining correct or incorrect spring rates.

As mentioned above if anyones doing it on a legit race track they are iditots who have no idea & should be banned.

[ollieboy]

Well theyve been doing it for years and never had an accident and are very very successful at motorsport. I wont tell you their names though because I don't feel right about it. I'm not defending them, just getting a point accross.

And no Dunny, actual racedays at Ruapuna and Levels and hillclimbs, not backyard racedays, as I said earlier I don't know how it works, I would never do it and I never have so don't flame me.

And I never said anything about it would help determine incorrect/correct springs.

[Voodoo]

well if u ask me, imo...yes

[Dunny]

And I never said anything about it would help determine incorrect/correct springs.

basically cut out that coil and make the car handle better

for a short term fix while sorting out what springs are best

If that's not determining what spring combination is going to work best.....
