I just ordered Swift Spec R springs for my 02. Should I get CR shocks before installing?

When you lowered your car with the Spec R Springs did your driver side lower more than your passenger side?

I just lowered mine and my driver side is about 3/4 of an inch lower.

Where did you get the spacers made? How much was the cost?(please send or post info.)

I have considered doing the exact same suspension but worried about the rubbing issue too! This looks to be a great solution.

I was lucky and a local guy who has a Dynatorch plasma cutter made them for me for no cost. In the end the thickness was actually 3/16", I believe. But naturally if you have them made you can dial it to your needs. If you go too thick, though, you may need longer bolts for the upper mounts. Especially if you have a strut tower bar.

Thanks very much. I might have to see how it all goes if I do actually put them on the car. No STB I had one in the past but the X-brace is all that is needed. STB never did more than add weight to the car.(the 60LB+ of stereo equipment doesn't help)
