Hello all,

Finally got my car all done and running after a year. Everything runs fine, prob is that i have tokico shocks and tanabe super low down spirng, all brand new w/ less than 50 miles. My car is good from the rear, but the front is lower and rubs, i have 18's 235/40's in the front. My question is, can i install 1/2 inch spacers in the front to raise it and where can i get them? I'm tapped out so i cant buy new springs or wheels. Thanks for any help.

I was alos told that i could put the rubber spacers on the shocks to raise the front to the height i wanted.



That sounds like the plan.
