All its doing is locking 2 coils together, making them NOT flex, AKA adding preload. I had mine in the front of my old ranger for 20Kmi on some lowering springs on the static kit I had in it. Never had a problem, and the springs looked 100% fine when i took them out.

How much do those cost? I might have a use for those if I actually get around to putting some power in my accord and bring it to the track. Those in the rear plus the limiter straps I made (if I can find them) up front should make it launch pretty well for a front wheel drive failboat.
