Performance springs

[Mich]

I've read this part and have a question about it:

Keep your original springs, but remove the spacer above the front springs. Simply put the car up on jack stands, put a jack under the suspension or wheel on the side you want to remove the spacer, put a little pressure on the tire to take the weight off the 3 nuts on the strut, remove the 3 nuts, lower the wheel/suspension on that side, remove the spacer, and jack the wheel back up realigning the 3 studs into the holes. DO NOT FORGET TO SHORTEN THE 3 STUDS,OR YOU MAY DAMAGE YOUR HOOD. Another great tip is to replace your front sway bar with the larger one from a CSi.

If your rear springs sag, replace them with original springs available from the usual sources.

Your car will look great, drive great, and retain that super CS ride.

Does anybody has an picture of the spacer above the front springs? I want to lower my e9 at the front a bit, I hope this helps.

Thnx.

Look in the photo gallery or do a google/yahoo image search. Some people mount them on top of the strut in the engine bay, they are the grey disks you sometimes see.

I don't think you will find a spacer on a Euro coupe, US DOT requirements were the cause here.

US made spring and damper kit

I remember reading about a kit, not from Carl Nelson, that improved the handling and suited the car just fine. I thought I had noted it somewhere, but cannot find it.
4 springs and 4 dampers if I remember correctly. 1" lower and very good dampers/shocks.
Anybody recall who in the US markets this kit?
