Dang was just thinking that since we are both in Seattle that could have been a good option. I could be said guinea pig since I don’t need them anytime soon.

If any of you guys are going ahead, I'd love to hear feedback on the drivability, as I'm considering these for my (std) e9 as well.
Well, if three of us in the Seattle area are going ahead it would be worth it, since he could make 2 packages of 6 instead of 3 packages of 4. I’m in if you are. And of course, we would report back. I think I would need some info from @HB Chris about what spacers exactly he used or best place perhaps to get them, but that seems straighforward
I used the stock e9 front spacer and two 2002 1/2” spacers for 1” in the rear. Actually one was 3D printed. Before that I was dragging the muffler and the front tow hooks on the ground entering driveways.

I've already got my set from Paul a while back awaiting install but thank you for the offer! I'm sure there will be a few locals who may be interested.

I thought you also referenced a 3-dot spacer?
Yes, those are there too!
(call me a shadtree mechanic.)
Look okay? Custom taylor the amount of drop with the spring rubbers
Right amount of drop?
Cavalier attitude? It sits low, and it is a tiny bit firm.. But it looks great. I had some Carl Nelson Springs, but they didn’t lower the car enough for my liking.

I’m down for a group buy.
I don’t think I’ll need the spacers. I’m shedding 400lbs from my 2800CS. It’s all on paper based on the parts I already have and a few (expensive ones) that I need to buy. With that said, I’ll still need to shed 46lbs and haven’t figured out where to get that from.

@teahead @lip277 @skb @restart or any other PNW folks - anyone interested in being the third to join @Markos and me in purchasing some Paul Baker springs to save a bit on shipping?I’m down for a group buy.

Thanks - My car already has Carl Nelson's springs (his original from a while back) so I'm ok with springs. Those were installed when I got the car back in 2008. Seem to be working fine. That and the new wheels (via Don) work very well IMO....
Cheers....
