No, I did not use any spacers.

That being said, yours is probably the best looking 19" wheel combo that I've seen, especially with that big ole rotor in there! Very nice.
do you still own your ‘88?

1) I’m in Texas and we have relatively smooth roads.

2) KYB aren’t great shocks. I had double adjustable Vikings.

3) I had pretty stiff DSE springs so they would only bottom out if I nailed a bump hard.

4) even with the best parts, these things will not handle great AND soft. You have to pick one.
