I have never heard of these clamps, if your saving your money, keep saving. I dont forsee these clamps being safe, especially if your running it hard. i would save up and get you a nice set,

Yeah, you don't want to compress your springs and hold them compressed. That's way more ghetto than heating or cutting the stock springs.
A compressed spring has way too much stored energy. Plus, if just one side broke, your car would become much more unstable, and that could be deadly on a high speed corner. __________________
