This is what he is using as a lowering method

sorry for the size but as you can see not a good method seeing as it tightens up the spring causing damage to the spring and shock when driven on due to restriction.

Edit:Oh ya and this is what happens when they fail (and they will)

Spring comp. for lowering FTW!!!

is that a guess cos they look like spring compression tools which would interfere with the suspension travel,

he might just be using clamps which really should only be used at shows to lower the car that little bit further while stationary (it usually says it on the box)
