Just build my front springs for my SAS.  Just curious what you all are using for spring clamps.  I could get the kind where you just slide the two pieces together and bend the tabs over.  Do these work ok?  Seems like they would not hold up to alot of flexing.  Thanks

I have that kind you are talking about.  Mine hold tegether great.  I haven't had to deal with them since i put them on and they don't move.

Cool.  I 'll give em a try.

Make sure you clamp them together really tight before you bend the tabs.  Use a c-clamp or something like it.

I use the u-bolt type that most auto part stores sell..There about 2 bucks here..In order for them to work they only have to be about 4-6 inches away from the u-bilt plate,,there they keep the springs from fanning out and they won't limit flex there either..

I bought mine from Foothill Offroad in Auburn, CA.  They were like $5.00.
