Info on lowering spacers? I'm fully aware that someone makes these, and I have a deposit out on a set, but I'd like to have some this week.
Does anyone have any pictures of these or what they're doing to make them? I'd really appreciate it.

You need the spacer in conjuction with springs. The stock rear shocks are load leveling so if you were to just use springs and no spacers the shocks would raise the rear of the car back up to original ride height, or very close to it. The spacers just fool the shocks into thinking the car is at factory ride height when lowered so they don't "load level" the car. These spacers by themselves would not do anything to ride height.

Yes, the only thing would be finding a good set of performance shocks that don't cost an arm and a leg. If you went that route you would need to replace the front shocks as well so everything is balanced. I think you would be looking at $850 minimum(Qa1) for a shock setup. Most of the other kits are coilovers and start at around $1000 and go up to $4,000+.

Personally I would not use the rubber washer. I include it because some people feel it is needed. I did not use it on my H&R or GC setup and I did not have any clunk issues. I will email you some directions in the next hour or so.

Not a whole lot of nonsense to it. Its just a poly spacer.
If you are not tracking your car then there is no reason at all to get a high dollar coil over setup. All that is good for is bragging rights. It is definitely not a cost effective modification.
