coil spring spacers
im looking to put some global west coil spring spacers on my rear springs. trying to research all solutions to my fender rubbing. my rear is stock except for the 17x11 wheels. the question is will these work with a stock camaro suspension. the spacers will raise the rear about an inch and hopefully will end the rubbing. let me know what you guys think and if you have them installed on your cars

Re: coil spring spacers
Let me know what you find. I'm having the same problem right now. I'm first going to try air shocks and see what that does for them.

Re: coil spring spacers
they put the entire weight of the car on the thin little piece of sheetmetal in the rear shock tower. That spot was never designed to support the weight of the car. It will eventually tear out.
