Default Suspension Lowering Question

If I had lowered my car 1.75" and found it to be to low, is there a product, such as a spacer, to regain 1/2" of hieght, either between the perch&spring or tower&mount?

This is a question of whether or not the car can be raised slightly after installing lowering springs by installing a spacer, thus giving a 1.25" drop in stead of 1.75". In the case were the owner believed the drop was a bit too much. Nothing to do with the bump stop rubber.

yes, u can buy spacers or a lift kit at most local auto part stores if u found the 1.75" too much and want to lift it a half an inch....a half inch isnt going to be much though....next time u should research on what springs ur going to buy to see if u'll like the amount of drop....it'll be really stiff after the lift, hope u like it

It will not be stiffer, unless you missunderstand what a spacer does. Icrease perch hieght does nothing to change rate or ride, it merely lifts the car. I know they have spacers for lifted vehicles, I was just asking if anyone has seen small variance spacers, or a shim if you will, that would sit on the spring perch.
