coil springs coming out

Post by thunder »

With nissan trials in a week i have a small problem.
the rear coils are coming out under flex.

there are a few solutions
tie them in with (top)cable ties,hose clamps.weld em

bottom.weld a bit of metal over the bottom bit

will it fuk the spring if i weld a bit of metal at the bottom and the top.
it would look like the spring is stretching

Any other ideas? got to be quick and easy

Weld it to the hangers not the spring then you can bend them out of the way if you have to change the springs out
