Spring clamps

I need to lower the rear of the Focus by another 15-20mm (its already down by 20mm on Eibach springs) is it safe to do it with spring clamps do you think?

Re: Spring clamps

or do it properly/safely on coilovers... why does it "NEED" to come down more?

Re: Spring clamps

'Needs' to come down more on the rear as it sits too nose heavy at the minute and is prone to lift off oversteer quite badly. Did consider coilovers but at £400 for a 20mm drop on the rear hardly seems worth it in my opinion!

Re: Spring clamps

Can you not have the springs fitted at the moment compressed a bit more?
Lots of companys can do this.
