Spacers for rear springs?
Okay so im moving into a new parking garage and my car is lowered (eibach pro kit). I have a tunnel mount torque arm with the provision for long tubes and it scrapes the driveway by a small amount. what are my best options in order to raise the rear about a 1/2 inch so it clears?

There's a "heater hose mod" where you take some heater hose, grease it with a little silicone grease and slide it on the first round or so at the top of the spring. That may be enough, and you also might see if the isolator feels any better on top of the hose- you could have the combined thickness if you needed it.

I have 4 steel spacers that are 1/4" thick that slip over the stubs that contain the lower ends of the springs. Just pull the springs, drop the spacer on and reinstall the spring. Piece of cake and no modding is needed. Will work much better than the heater hose and you can raise the back of the car 1/4" or 1/2".
If interested in these PM me.
