If anyone is interested, I can make you a set of these. I can make the spacers out of 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4" AZEK PVC material. PM me for more info.

On stock springs I was fine, but once I installed the Progress springs it was sitting too low in my opinion. I think it should sit lower in the front than the rear.

x2 - I used sportlines, same problem

Gives it a much more agressive stance when its a bit lower up front,

so if you took your system out of the trunk, it really makes that much of a difference?
