I dont get it. Machined aluminum spacers to use short springs when taller ones are sitting next to the car. Did the owner like the spring rate?

Is there a minimum height requirement in Japan? That may explain it. I prefer the after stance.

That would be a great kit to sell. Then the buyer could decide on their ride height and adjust to new rims and tires as needed. Clean car. I would have spent money on a nonstock sway bar but that's just me. Maybe he/she is on 311s.

I agree that the car was too low to begin with and much better with the spacers (did they remove some lowering blocks in the rear as well?). Its stance looks about like mine with front comp springs (80's era?) and flex form rears set at the lower option for the mount, with 1" lowering blocks, and 205/50/15 tires. I think Dan is right, the owner wanted to keep the stiffer springs. And I do believe that they would love a set of Bs!

...easier to detach lower A-arm from the frame than to pop a ball joint to access the springs...
