Because if i do that then i'm messing with my spring rate, and even if i did it wouldn't work. The way i adjust my ride height is different than a standard coilover, you adjust it from the base at the bottom.

I ordered some from motorsport-tech.com for $85 shipped but they are backed up and can't ship them out till next friday....gayness i know....

I tried pepboys and some other places in the area but the smallest ones i can find are 6.3mm (1/4'')..and i'm not sure if those would be ok on the stock studs? don't really want to take the chance....

I'm not looking to buy a set either for like $80 or $100 when i just spent that....Most auto places have them 2 for $20-25 to get my by for a week or 2.

Also I am rubbing the inside of my tire on my strut...I have plenty of fender/wheelwell clearance....so that isn't the problem

Yeah I'm on 275's......Some other guy on the board said he fit 275 Star Specs (which run wide) under there by maxing out the positive camber on the adjustment bolt.... But I'm not sure exactly which way is positive so I'm doing a little trial and error on it...I defintely know not to flip it and give more negative camber...lol

But yeah if anyone can loan me or find me some spacers i'll throw em $20 for their efforts.....I kinda need em for the next week.

Put the white dot or arrow away from the front strut for the -2* camber setting. Stock points inward.
