Springs spacers
I was at Pep boys with a friend today and found a lot of cool junk. Apparently they carry APC products for Hondas such as alteza lights, short shifters, indiglo guages, and even ADR and team loco wheels. Among my findings were a GTR emblem and spring Spacers. The spacers are rubber and fit between the coils. You are suppose to place the spacer blocks when the car is jacked up and the springs are relieved. When you lower the car back down, the coil will have to compress on the rubber spacer block leaving your car slightly higher than before. There was another type of spacer that rests in the top or bottom of the assembly. I'm thinking about doing this to my stock springs or H&R's. My stillen front lip is scraping with stock springs as it is.
What do you think?

It's made for drag racing. Putting them on your rear coils so the rear doesn't squat down as much during the launch.

Na... no need spacers. Just learn how to drive like a riceboy.... driveways and other entrances are to be driven up as perpendicular to the driveway as you can get your car angled. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, refer to an example on skimax's sig pic.
