rear spring spacers
so i'm having a little bit of rubbing with my 295/35-18s in the rear whenever i go over bumps fast or during hard cornering.
i would like to put a small spacer, about 1/8" - 1/4", between the upper spring isolator and the upper spring mount.
something like this from mc-master carr
http://www.mcmaster.com/#9515k611/=7dt9xe
part number - 9515K611
i know its 3/8" thick, but thats all i could find.
what do you guys think?
any other suggestions?
thanks
tony

there are two kinds of spacers.
one goes either above or below the spring to provide additional "height" to the spring. this does not change anything about the spring or how it works.
the second goes inbetween the coils of the spring and therefore does not allow the spring to compress as much under load. this changes the spring rate of the spring by not allowing it to compress over its entire length.
