Coil over spring spacers
« on: February 27, 2006, 11:49:25 AM »

Anyone ever heard of these?  Seen them?  I am wondering because I need a set of 2" spacers for my Duster.  I can not get the ride ht set where I want/need it.  I have Koni shocks and QA1 110# 12" coil overs.   Once the car is set down on the tires the springs compress about 2" but once I get the shock set in the middle of the travel the car sits about 2-3" higher than I want/it should.  I'm  over this issue.  Any thoughts ideas?  Need more info let me know.

not following you exactly...but...a true coil over shock has a pre-determined installed length..measured between the mounting holes. with the vehicle on the ground, measure between the mounting holes, if you cannot achieve proper lenght with spring adjustments, then you need a different spring rate, once this length is achieved, and your desired ride heigth is off, that means the shock mounts were not installed in the proper location. i have never heard of any spring spacers for coilovers. also make sure you have the proper length spring for the shock. rear shocks are available for a 12" or 14" spring. hope this helps
