I havent, but they don't seem to difficult to make. If you could produce those you could probally make a killing.

Genedog

trust me...... the thought came to mind...

so you're trying to raise your car basically?

Genedog

yes but just a bit.. i need about a 7mm clearance to stop rubbing.. and im looking for something like this or maybe a spring spacer or something.. maybe even putting some washer between the upper shock tower and body.. what do you think to crazy to work??

I'm pretty sure that I can make those. I have one question, If we go .7 then the 14mm bolts will have little thread to tighten on. ? What do you think?

As long as you don't have a strut tower bar I wouldn't sweat it. With a strut tower bar you probally couldn't swing it. As long as the bolt has all of <U>IT'S</U> threads on the bolt then you'll be fine.

maybe a 5mm could work but i still have enough thread left.. my bar has sunken holes where the nut goes it looks like there is enough space

pretty neat...
Id buy a set...I could go for a slight raise
5mm would do it

Go to Pep Boys they have a spring spacers that will raise it back up an inch. I've seen them there. Look around for them near suspension parts. I forgot what they where called but yeah it will raise your springs up an inch. You basically just twist them in and voila.

Genedog

one inch is too much.. i would say 5mm is fine..
