[FC] WC: clamps to lower front springs on the GB

[Joel McGregor]

I've used clamps before and had trouble with them creeping around on the springs.  I had to make a strap to go between the two clamps to keep them across from each other.  Obviously they weren't on a Corvair since there was no shock in the middle to get in the way of my strap.  I did drive the car really hard too.
They also aren't much fun to install.  You have to figure out some way to get the coils close enough together to install the clamps.

Hi all!

I picked up a set of spring clamps from Canadian Tire recently with the purpose of lowering the front end of the Greenbrier and bring the nose down closer to level. The rear springs are absolutely perfect height.

Has anyone out there used these before?

What are your thoughts?
