    VOgtland Springs with spacers to raise them?

    i know weird Question but i want a little bit stiffer of a spring and the Vogtlands seem like the correct stiffness i want for my DD but i dont want the full 1.5~ish drop that they have is their any way to put a reliable metal or poly spacer to gain like an inch or so back in height or is their adjusters i can use for the front stock diamter of springs? for the rears i was thinking of ordering GC rear spring adjusters and doing it that way just the front is stumping me

    i just dont want another cracked Pan and that happened when my car was fully stock with new Motor mounts so going way lower is asking for it also have a Race Skidz plate

    !0mm spring pads are available, but that won't result in the inch you are after. Put a set of IS springs in the car and call it done.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          OEM rubber spacers are available for rear, I haven't heard of the them described as spacers, but get what your asking. I have an extra 15mm on rear to even out the rake as far as front is concerned I'm not sure what you could use.

            I think H&R make the "OE Sport" springs. Sport rate, mostly original ride height.

              They really dont drop the car that much, especially on an early model.

                Yup, this should be your option. The cost is slightly over $200.
