Anyone use SPC coil spring spacers?

I just scored a set of Bell Tech Drop spindles.. But I'm already running 900lb hypercoil 5.5" x 12" springs. Giving me roughly a 25.5" front fender height. With 2" Drop spindles my ride height will be way too low.

So since there is no 13" & 14" racing springs in 5.5" diameter; I'm wanting to use a set of aluminum spacers.

I can get them in sets from .375" tall all the way up to 1" tall.

So my question is have any of you run these? Any quality control issues; or usage issues?

I would be scared of them falling out or something, although I have contemplated using them in the past.

I put some in my old P/U when I bought it new in 1989 . they are still installed . truck is still in everyday use . it has never been thrashed , beaten , or abused . BUT , I'm not sure about your use . a lot would depend on your use/driving style . good luck .

My car doesn't get airborne if that's what your asking LOL. (que dixie horn) Thanks for sharing your experience with them. I was curious if anybody had any problems with theirs. Like maybe centering issues. I already ordered 3 sets, So I will find out if they are good or bad...

Thanks! Anyone else use them?

Good to know! I was thinking about using these to raise my suspension of my passenger side because it sits lower than my driver's side, so basically to balance out both sides.
