Question on front spring pads

[boom-monkey]

I've heard of people taking out their front springs pads, so I kind of figured that I can add some as well like in the rear. So the question is, can I add extra spring pads to the struts to raise the front of the car. I have not ever worked on the front suspension (sans sway bar and control arm) so I'm not really sure what to expect. Also, if I do add extra pads to the strut will it raise my car the extra 10mm I need to allow my tires to not grab the fender?

you can look at ETK they have thicker pads, I don't know if you can add them to the front I know you can to the rear if you cut out the center part but the front is more tricky.

front spring pads are 1.5mm or 3mm thick each, so i dont think you can get 10mm, unless there's a thicker pad you can use like in the rear

I don't see any problems with adding more in the front. I left mine out, even though it really doesn't make much difference..
