no you wont need spring clamps, only if your taking apart the old suspension to use the top mounts, even then you dont need clamps

Does the spax come with top mounts and springs already fitted ? or do you have to use the old top mounts with loose new springs? .

When I fitted my new fronts had to use spring compressors, makes it an easy job and a safe one.
