Has anyone ever used these? Apparently you can lower your car cheaply with this item by clamping the coils and pulling them closer together, thus avoiding cutting springs.
Any side affects? do they work?

Dont clamp your springs to lower your car - that only causes damage.
Buy new, or reset your old ones + shortened shocks if you want to lower it. Doing it the dodgy way may be cheap and effective now, but down the line, you're going to regret it when you need major repairs done to the car.
Plus - they are illegal, so if your car went over the pits - you be bgucked

pity they dont inform you of that fact when you purchase the items isnt it. they are meant to be lift kits for 4wds aswell. i would hate to try em out off the beaten track.
