New suspension - No strut spacers..?

First off,



but I'll get them uploaded! I have some, and I was waiting for some sun to take a good after shot.

Anyways, put on 00 16" 5 spokes w/ Kumho ASX's and the Tokico Illumina kit. I had everything in order, but I did not get new strut spacers (or shock spacers either), and my old ones were completely ripped up. Anyways, I put everything together and did not use the spacers. Is this bad? Anyone else not use them and have any problems? The reason I ask is now that I need an alignment, I want to make sure everything is intact so I am not wasting my money on the alignment if I have to re-do something and go back.

what? Spacers, you mean the orange things? If so it's not a spacer, it's like a mm thick, how could it space anything? They are just sound/sqeal preventing device doohikeys. If you mean the grey bearings then yes, you need them bad and puttin ght esprings in without them is almost as stupid as puttin diesel in your fuel tank.

Yeah I live in a "cracker-box" house... as you can see in the background.
The last pic is my car, Dan's, and his friends.
