Can I put a spacer under top strut mount?
Can I put a spacer under top strut mount?
I had to add 15mm spacers to clear BBKs and now I'm concerned that my low drop will trash my inner fender liners or worse. I never had much issue before but since adding the spacers my tires have already rubbed the inner wells a couple times yesterday. My tires are about 1/2" under the fender lip, I think a 1/4"- 3/8" lift would be much better. Was wondering if I put a hard rubber spacer between the under fender well and the triangle top strut mount be OK? Surely don't want anything dangerous, but has anyone tried this. Don't really want to get new springs, coilovers are in the works but would like an interim fix in the mean time. Thanks for any help you can provide.
BB, it's a spring drop (pretty low at 25.6" to the fender), coilovers are on my wish list but not until I get the BBK. I guess I'll just take it easy in the mean time.
Sure you could do that but I wouldn't use rubber since I doubt you could find some hard enough not to eventually compress out of shape in that area. Just try using some aluminum shim material cut in that shape and thickness. It shouldn't add any more noise to the setup or very little. JMO
