Title: Rear height spacers
Post by: GTVeloce on February 12, 2014, 08:41:52 AM
Has anybody come across rear height spacers? I believe they exist and are placed between the top spring cushion and the body of the car.

I would like to raise the rear of my car a little (perhaps 5-10mm) without changing springs. If I had a lathe I could probably turn something up but alas, no.

Look for poly urethane universal spacers. Normal found as a 4wd accessory. From memory ther very cheap, I used a pair to raise a car and just cut to size. Check eBay, they come in various thicknesses for lift. I believe I drill a few very small holes and zip tied them to the coil as they weren't a full circle.

I have a set of alloy 1/2 inch spacers that were fitted to my Alfetta GT ---they are specially shaped to accept the base of the spring which is not flat and were fitted to the de-dion. GTVeloce e-mail me at brucejacobs6@icloud.com
