RE: Coil Spring Clamps

Neil,
A while back I was asking a question similar to this. A very good guy from
Texas responded
with an idea he and his brother used on their AMCs. They bolted a plate of
steel between the
upright and the spindle to drop the front of their cars two inches or more.
They had a machinist
drill the plates for them and then all they had to do was unbolt the spindle
and bolt in the plate.

I would like to lower the front end on our Javelin 1" or so without cutting
the coil springs. Has anyone used those screw clamp deals that clamp a
couple of coils together from Autozone, etc? Do they work ok and are they
reliable? Or, is this a really poor solution to doing it right?
Thanks,
