A quick update for all that have checked out the thread.... Global west spacers to the rescue!!! The 3/8th spacers raised it 5/8 on the mark. It gave just enough room to put me at ease and the car didn't loose the aggressive rake I wanted.

This leads me to a good forum question. While searching for a solution a lot of people asked if I wish I went with a coilover setup. I did feel that possibly it would have been a better idea to go with a coilover shock/spring. A few other people said the ride quality suffers too much and there is no comparison to quality shocks and springs. I've not done enough driving with coilovers to make a firm determination. After a few miles with my new hotchkis fox shocks and springs there is no comparison to stock. Amazing!!!

Has anybody driven both types and have opinions???
