Front spring spacers

I made these last year, with input from Hans. Cut up a couple of old Ikea cutting boards with a jigsaw, and voila! A method to introduce additional ride height.

Most folks want to lower their cars to improve handling. All well and good if you stay on the hard stuff, but a little extra clearance for the variety of road conditions rallying throws in the path is not a bad idea.

These are spacers I made for the front. After a year of being on the car, they look no different from when they were installed. I had them off to replace the control arm bushings. The one closest to the bump stop needs to have the inner circle beveled or chamfered to account for the geometry of the bump stop.

And the colors -- so festive!
