Spring clamps

[Cool Silver]

I intend to replace my stock rear springs with something stiffer and I also want to increase height by 1 inch. However, the springs I bought ended being too long that when it was installed, it resulted to more than 2 inches height increase and the new springs appeared a bit bulging towards the rear. I'm not sure if the coil spring will require some time and/or load for it to break in and eventually settle down to my intended height of just 1 inch. The mechanic felt iffy about the height and he just re-installed the stock springs.

Someone suggested me this clamps to lower my overly-high new coil springs. Each coil spring will have two of this and will compress around the middle part. I search for it in the web and I noticed that in other countries, the clamps they have is all-metal. The ones we have here have thick rubber pads that will be in touch with the coil spring.

Do you think it's just fine to proceed with the clamps?

How about a set of Eibach springs? The rear sways less, and they don't need anything to correct a misfit because they fit perfectly.

Eibach lowers the car about 1.5". Cool Silver is trying to raise the car an inch. I remember people trying new VW Beetle springs with success.

White Slug has a great writeup on their aftermarket, etc., search for springs, including beetle springs.
