now i'm gonna get some coilovers but the problem was that even on the highest setting, the coilovers still sit 1" low. if i get defected again i want it to be able to get to stock height at least. now i'm just htinking... are these safe to sleave in the car permanantly? I haven't heard much about spacers before.

Sorry. I thought you were getting coilover sleeves. Don't have much experience with full coilovers. Can't really help you.

these are used in betwwen the spring and the upper or lower perch...just something to hold the spring captive and give it extra cushioning against metal i guess. It will not "raise" the car by that amount as it will deform under the cars weight.

Never knew such a product existed..

it should raise your car.. unless they deform as ben suggest..

but from using their engine inserts and shifter inserts.. they are pretty damn hard and i rekcon they will riase car and will be good for everyday too..



should just contact energy..

ive seen on drift cars they use what looks like the wheel spacers on their strut tops. it might be possible to use them on the bottom if theres enough room (and has a flat surface)

its a non-issue after you defected have to remove the coilovers. it wont pass inspection with them installed no matter what hight
