Coil Spacer? help

Jack up my car and noticed this, looks like a coil spacer?

Installed by PO. No wonder why my e30 had a slight raked look

Whats the point of this? Should i just remove it? Im back on bottle caps and wont rub like the 17s it had on before.

Also correct me if im wrong but that is H&R sport right?

Iirc, that is used to take some of the harshness out of the spring. Take it out, you probably wont notice Amy difference other than a slight height decrease.

Thanks, yea its giving the car a slight raked look. It was on 17s, and i think since late model e30s have lower wheel arches, the 17s were rubbing so PO put those in.

I tried taking them out but they are stuck on there pretty tight...looks like when I put new shocks in ill get a chance to get these outs...

You'll probably have to cut them out and roll your fenders to clear.
