no unless your gonna have some custom spring spacers machined, in which case you might as well buy springs.

I have a full machineshop available to me....does anyone have some pictures of spacers I can see? i just need a little more clearance between the tire, and the fender, its a little too close, the tire just nicked the fender when i took it for a quick drive after installing the springs

something like this, not as extreme, this is for a trucks leveling kit



but something to go between the strut mount and where it bolts

I rub fender about once a mile... it's not that big of a deal.

You might want to look into Subaru raising setups, but to do it right you should buy a different set of springs.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
