The clamps are far better, but AFCO springs overall makes a better product. They hold their arch way longer and are more consistant than the Landrums. Also, no spring is perfect, to really get your moneys worth, take them apart and roll graphite on each leaf, then re-assyble them. This is alot of work but the details will pay in consistancy.
