Suspension Spacer??

Ok guys, quick question. I have Tein S. Techs on my 03 sedan. I'm trying to find some type of spacer to raise the front 3/4-1/2 half inch. Anyone know where I can find such a thing???

What you want does not exist. If you had Koni shocks, the front shocks have a built in groove that you can use to raise the spring seat 1/2" and get the 1/2" gain in front height your after. As mentioned above, make a new spring choice that gets you the front drop your really after, switching to H-techs in the front would make sense to me.

Yeah, sounds like I'm gonna have to do some type of swap up front. It would be nice to have Koni's.....they are great. Just don't have the money to drop on them right now.

Well honestly I was mentioning the Koni's just to show how they "could" be used to do what your after. In reality, having run Koni's on the car, I would not recommend them with either of those springs because of how soft the springs are (you'd be into the bumpstops far too often).

What you speak is does exist but is just not made for our car. When I did offroad alot with my tacoma, I looked at this type of "lift" its actually not a good suspension practice. The spacer goes at the top of the shock, however on a tacoma, the lift was about double what the spacer was.

The wheel is lowered about double what the spacer is, however you will probably have to get a custom spacer made or modify a spacer from revtec racing etc.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR LOOKING FOR, HOWEVER DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR G35, IT MAKES THE SHOCKS BOTTOM OUT MORE.
