Has anyone used this spacer to raise the front of their car?

Does it fit or does the 'universal' really mean all but camaros.

 

i dont know but am now interested in it since i have messed up spohn a arms. one inch is what i want my front to come up. and it would be cheaper thisway. someone has to know. but i wonder if it will make it softer since it is rubber, is it hard or soft rubber? id be intrested in a fabbed piece made for our third gens. maybe billet and id buy it. any machinests out there able to do this? lol.

 

Easy as pie for a CNC shop. I used to be a CNC machinist, and 6061-T6 aluminum spacers would be SIMPLE to make.

 

I went ahead and ordered it. It is a hard rubber. The only reason I'm hesitating installing it is that it has a round grove in it, not square. I just wonder how this will work since the top of the spring is ground flat.

*edit* Cost was ~12$ each at Advanced Auto

 

If the top of the spring flat, I would be a bit concerned about the "corners" of it cutting into the rubber. Effectively putting the the pressure higher on those "corners" than if the spring was round, or the rubber flat.

You could round off the edges a bit, or square off the rubber spacers, where the spring sits.


I found my crowning achievement from the CNC shop I made. A Pine wood Derby car. Weight limit was 1 lb. She weighs exactly 1 lbs! I know the dimensions are off, I had to work with the piece of material I had.

That was my thinking... I may try squaring the rubber (this should be fun without a mill)

Out of curiosity, are stock springs gound flat as well? It's been a loooong time since I've seen the stock springs from my car.

 

I've got a set of stock 89 GTA WS6 springs, and they aren't flat. Fully round.

 

"Messed up Spohn A-Arms"?
You have me worried. I have a set that I haven't installed yet.
What happened?

 

im interested in the feedback on the spacers when you get them and have them installed as well. i think i will get them if you like them and they fit. Z RATED IROC....the spohn a arms ive heard from some people on here have been fixed and are ok for the last maybe 2 years or so. i have a set from before that and they dropped my car over another inch after i put them on. i have sportlines and if it wasnt a work in progress i wouldnt even be able to drive it now anyway cause its to low. it looks awsome...lol but to low...from what people say is stock fender to ground measurement and then how mine is it has a total of about 3 1/4 to 3 and half inch drop up front i think.lol here is a pic if you havent seen it posted yet...http://s187.photobucket.com/albums/x...aropics367.jpg

 

Here's what my GTA (WS6 springs) measured at 165,000 miles, and rides GOOD. Doesn't bottom out, feel tight, doesn't feel sagged at all, despite the miles.
