Yeah just clamps, you can loosen the clamps and move them up and down to adjust the height. I am looking into possibly moving to a 2 inch spring with adjusters, but the shock tower will need widened.

I was having some bump steer so I ordered some TTT RCA's, Id recommend them to anyone lowering your car. Also got some lightweight lugs.



The rear bump stops needed cut down, and when I removed them they fell apart. They are nothing but rubber glued to a flat washer, so I made my own. I cut down a set of fronts and epoxied them to a flat washer giving me the ability to safely lower my car some more.



The RCA's lowered the front about 3/4" so I lowered the rear to match plus eliminated some of the excessive rake the car had. I think its looking really good, but I may need to raise it up depending on how it drives.
