that sounds extremely dangerous. cause what happens when your car lifts up?? the springs expand and the clamps will eventually break and fly off and severely damage your car or kill a pedestrian. just live with it or buy shorter springs.

please dont cut them either. it is better for everyone's safety that you just wait

Then buy lower springs.

Re: lowering spring clamps? (jlacoy82)
Think about this:
Your springs are pitched spirals of metal that compress and rebound every time your suspension hits an anomaly in the road. If you clamp them, every time you load your suspension, the clamps will shift to a higher point on the coil and, eventually, the spring will decompress to its original height.
Clamps are stupid. Limiting straps are the only way to do what you want to do, but even those are drag-race application items and not meant for street use.
