I'm thinking of lowering my TE until I found this one on ebay, is this safe? What do you think guys? link http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Lower-or-Raise-your-car-2-cheaply-spring-locks_W0QQitemZ190068513167QQihZ009QQcategoryZ1306 53QQcmdZViewItem

if it was me i wouldnt get them
they dont look safe and who knows what would happen if they fail while driving
just got out and buy some springs and lower it the right way

Looks interesting, i wanna lower my ride but it cud be dangerous like roberto said, any1 have some more info on these?

It works in the sense that it'll lower your car, whether it's safe is another issue :P.

After 3 nonsense replies I'll give a bit of info..

It's roughly the same as having your stock springs taken out and compressed. The spring retains it's original spring rate, ie how hard the spring is. This means it acts like a shorter spring, and will take less force to be fully compressed and bottom out - the same as driving with a boot full of sand bags.

Under normal circumstances you should be fine, but if you hit a decent pothole you're guarateed to bottom out and do some damage. Also I have serious doubts these would stay on your spring after it bottoms, so A. you have a lump of loose metal in your wheel well, awesome if it flies into your rim and gets smashed into the caliper or something and B. that spring will then bounce up to stock height, further unsettling the car. If this happens round a corner in the wet you'd have some fun to deal with.

For $160 more you can buy proper springs, borrow some spring compressers and do it yourself. If you can't borrow them get some from supercheap and take them back when you're done.

yeah thanks for the comments, as they say..."safety first". Maybe this will do the job. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280067535849&rd=1&rd=1

Sorry all might one, what a dick :nuts:

My post could have been summarised to "they're unsafe don't use them", applying a bit of common sense could have done the same thing. If there was a $60 alternative to lower your car why would everyone pay for new springs and shocks?
