I hope this isn't a dumb question but does this mod affect the ride at all? Or is it pretty much the same.

Yup, best prices at ajusa.com. They don't stock these pieces and are shipped directly from Eibach. It took about a week for me to get them.

depending on the thickness you needed. You will get a more precise change in height with these spacers to fine tune your ride height to your desired settings

How many of these should I limit myself to? I'd like to raise the rear end up at least a half inch. I really need them now because I was a cheap son of a gun and got 235/50 18's on my 18X8 30mm offset 350z wheels and the rears rub too often when anyone is sitting in the back besides little kids.

I just threw some 12.5 inch wheel spacers I bought for my Maxima and never used into the bottom of the spring buckets. Tell me how safe is that! I have my own thoughts, but it's riding fine so I'm forgetting about them.

The inside diameter of the springs is 3.575" and the wide end of the conical part of the upper spring mounts is 4", so I figured my setup would be no less safe than the spacers or shims. I searched and searched for those shims with a bigger ID but I couldn't find any. So I gave up.
