Spacer for rear springs I just recently installed Hotchkis lowering springs but I think the rear sits a little too low, even with the upper isolators installed. Anyone know of either some poly or metal rear spacers that would fit on the bottom of the coil springs? I only want like 1/2". I tried searching here and couldnt really come up with much. Thanks.

I dont know if that would fit around the spring cups on the bottom, and I know it definitely wont fit in the isolators on the top? At least I think so.

does anyone know if these will fit my 2000 SS?...the application says theyll fit a 92 fbody, and you could get them on their website to fit a 98-02 camaro but its still the same part number? Global Suspension makes them. On summit its part #1672 and on their website its the same even though its a different application. And of course there are no dimensions for the part which would make things easy

SPC Performance 1627. I'll send you a link where I got them. They are one inch and fit perfectly over the raised metal circle on the rear axle where the springs would normally sit. You can most likely get a little cut off of them from a machine shop or do it yourself. I had to compress my rear springs to get them on there. I'm not sure if it had any effect on the performance, but my car looks better (IMO) and I don't bottom out my tires as much going over speed bumps and stuff.

Thanks very much to neoloco I installed the spring spacers today and the fit was perfect...I was originally thinking I was going to trim them down to a half inch but after putting them in I think I like the rake it gave me.
