yeah, you clamp them on your springs and bam, your ride is lowered, why don't you try this instead of weights in the back?

Installation from their website looks like its you... and a hammer...

Idk about this though... someone else chime in... Changing the way the spring functions is not a good idea... REPLACE springs... dont modify them... IMHO

This was intruging to me fo a minute, but that was about it. I like the weights for my application as it has reduced downrtravel, taken away bounce, made the ride firmer and smoother, and given the rear end (and overall ride) a much more solid feel, all while hugging the road much, much better. Oh, and lowered the rear end by 1.25"!

These calmps would not accomplish all of those things, if they even worked, and would probably come lose failry quickly with aggressive driving, which I do constantly. And, LongBeachCoupe is right, it would change the overall dynamic of the spring, whereas weight in the rear really doesn't, it just reduces the down travel of the spiring, but its overall charachteristics remain intact.

Given all the above, my crazy and admittedly unorthodox methods have some very beneficial results! Granted, it's pretty korny, but I have a reputation as being the King of Korn!
