Source for Honda coil spring spacers?
Anybody know of a place that sells coil spring spacers specifically for Honda springs? Most spacers I've found seem to be quite large, for off-road trucks. My spring dimensions are 4.5" O.D. X 3.5" I.D. (.5" coil diameter). I need a 1" thick spacer with a "U"-groove to go on the top of my rear coils to even out my suspension.
(And no, I'm not going off-roading. I ordered a set of Koni Str.T shocks for my '97 Accord Wagon, and since I don't want to lower the car I'm using the stock springs. The front Konis are a direct fit, but the spring perches on the rear Konis are about 1" LOWER than the perches on the OEM shocks. Unfortunately nobody sells a performance shock to fit the Wagon...only for the sedans/coupes. So I either have to find spacers to make up the 1" difference, or return the Str.T's and find another solution...maybe a pair of coilovers?)
I've inquired with Energy Suspension, but they don't have spacers like this. And Ground Control doesn't offer a coilover conversion for the Str.T shocks. I don't think a true coilover such as Tein or Skunk would allow me to adjust to the stock ride height....would they? So far the simplest solution seems to be finding a 1" thick spacer to fit the Str.T's I've already purchased.
Anyways, I'm open to suggestions. TIA
