I currently run Performance Products springs, and LOVE the ride they provide, but would like just a bit more lift, so I was considering adding a small spacer. From what I have read in the past, the type of spacers that go IN the coil/strut compresses the spring, doing two things, creating a harsh ride and shortening the life of the spring. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with these "Top Plate" spacers from ToyTec, appears that maybe these go between the coil pack and the strut tower instead of inside, is that right? Would this give me lift but preserve the ride?

Thanks in advance!

 

You can make your own out of HPDE for a quarter of the price if you have at least a jigsaw and Dremel. If you have a drill press, it's even easier.

 

I'm certainly not opposed to making my own, but I'm still confused as to whether you can put a spacer outside of the coilover/strut assembly and the effects?
