I just got some eibach springs for my 03 sedan and wanted to see if there were some way to lift the rears up higher with a spacer of some sort. Is this even practical in terms of cost?

I have not installed the springs yet so I have my options open.

 

How much are you looking to bring the rear up by? You can stack these spacers http://www.pitstopusa.com/detail.aspx?ID=23986 which are 3/16" or they offer a 1/8" washer as well, I wouldn't suggest using more than 2, and epoxying them together if possible, then install on top of the rear springmount against the body of the car when you install your springs

 

Thanks. I'll give a look into using those. I think the drop is 1.1" but after it settles, I think people say it goes to about 1.5". So I want to bring it up about 0.5". Eibach people chime in: how much would I need to raise it to avoid sagging rear?

 

Bump...

I just ordered eibach pro-kits for my '05 sedan for a mild drop. I may want to raise the rear of the car a little (after installing the springs) - since I am very concerned that I may scrape the exhaust getting into my driveway and parking space. I currently have about 2.5" to 3" from the lowest part of my exhaust to the ground. This is with the sedan nonsport suspension (which is what, I found - the prokits are made for)...

I am actually parking my car slightly on a grade - as a result the rear of the car is sitting on the edge of an incline - so the exhaust is pointed at the grade. Will the prokits compress less than the stock springs? Assuming the drop is 1.1" to 1.5" - will I then have at least 1" - assuming a 2.5" - 3" gap between the lowest part of the exhaust and the ground at stock ride height??

BTW - for anyone interested - I decided on the eibachs for their ride comfort, minimal drop and since they were already made for my nonsport suspension...

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Any first hand experience using spacers to raise the car slightly?

Thanks!
