Seriously don't even think about it.......might as well cut springs. lol

i was planing to use them on my car to see how my car looked if i was to lower em...and i was thinking abt using them for a few months before i opt to buy lower springs....so u dont think its a good idea as a temporary device?

[Suprathai]

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere on the internet, just google around and then decide if you would like to us blocks or not....

I don't think it is worth the risk as insurance wont pay out because of such items.

arent lowering blocks for leaf springs, had them in my old rodeo(mini truck hehe)

[Suprathai]

I think lowering blocks were used for leaf springs, haven't bothered googling it yet. But I remember that they were using it to see how it looks like lowered on a ute

ummm dont leaf springs look totally different from normal springs?? like these?

[GtiRboy]

Yes the above are leaf springs - lowering blocks are used on them.

I wouldn't even bother using "spring locks" or whatever it is... If you have a crash, good luck!

It doesn't cost too much to get your car lowered.. Do it right, do it once..

Springs are cheap too

yeah i do have a camry thts y i dont want to spend money on it...im gettin a celica in a few months..so i want to get tht properly lowered...and as for the cam, i dont want to spend money on new springs...jst want somethin temporary...

[Suprathai]

save your cash on some springs for your celica instead

[Leroy]

save your cash on some springs for your celica instead

Exactly. Why would you bother if you're replacing that in the very short term? Sigh...

YEAH ur right....bt i jst want the cam to look a lil more unique without spending too much cash....so i thght spring locks wld be a better idea...

Nothing at all.

Lovells, Kings, Pedders, Tein, Whiteline etc etc etc. They're all good in my opinion. Some have different heights / weights, that's about it though.

[SILVABULLIT]

well Pedders are kings painted red so are exactly the same with an extra coat of paint. So go kings cause they will be lighter with less paint LOL
