Coil spacer lift, and rubber spring isolators
« on: March 23, 2008, 01:34:01 PM »
Hey all, just did 1.5/2.0 coil spacer lift, strut flip, and 91 crown vic shocks, and all went well.......except one thing. I did not realize that the rubber isolators where to come out. The coil spacers where grooved inside so they went right on the isolator. Will this harm anything or do i have to remove everything and put them on the bottom of the spacer? Also he spacers had a lip to fit into the spring so i am not sure if they go into the rubber isolators. Where bought of ebay, here is the link to help see the spacers.

BTW these spacers seem really good and i got great service from this seller if you are looking to purchase.
TIA

The spacers are GREAT!!  ;D I make them  :laugh: The rubber isolator should go on top of the spacer. If it just goes inside and you do or don't take it out it will not make a difference. Do not put it on the bottom of the spacers. As you said the lip will not go in the spring if you do. Thanks for the compliment.

i put spacers in my kick - i took those spring seats out.
if, for some reason, i were to take that all apart again, i'll put them back in.
jeff uses some real nice material, and gave good advice.
did you space you strut mounts?

Yup i did a strut flip, and it worked out very well!

Thanks for the advice Jeff1997, i thought i had done it right but someone kept telling me i was wrong. Glad i do not have to take it all apart again  ::)

I've bought jeffs spacers to and are very strong. I'm now making lazer cut strut spacers to any length and also a spacer for the upper rear diff mount. With these 2 key components you lose the rough ride causer by suspension bind and get back the stock ride and flex in the suspension. If anyone is interested in these mounts let me know. Hey jeff maybe we need to make a kit?
