Default I'm currently sitting at 25 3/8" and would like to be at 25" all around but...

my ECS coils are as low as I can go on the rear. Would it be a bad idea to use c-clamps for the final 3/8"?

I realize that using c-clamps to lower a car is generally a bad idea but b/c it's such a small distance and would only be used on the rears. I just wouldn't want to change my entire setup then someone says.."Why didn't you just use c-clamps?"

FWIW, I have Tein HTech springs b/c they have a stock like spring rate b/c it's my daily driver.

Default 3/8" is not a small amount. C-clamping is a bad idea.

You might well just start cutting coils if you're thinking about C-clamps. Plus, at 25", you'll have tire wear issues without camber adjustment.

How long have you had your springs? They might settle a little lower.
