whats everydosy's thoughts? anyone used them? spring spacers (twist in) (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-Twist-In-Front-Spacer-Coil-Spring-Boosters-Lifters-Lift-Rasier-Cars-Trucks-/370576034686?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56480d8b7e#ht_500wt_1054) Raiser rings (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Raiser-Rings-Lowered-Springs-VB-VC-VH-VK-VL-VP-VR-VS-sedan-wagon-ute-/150684273978?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item23157b8d3a#ht_1489wt_1037) spacer rubber slot in (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Polyurethane-UNIVERSAL-ADJUSTABLE-COIL-SPRING-SPACER-10mm-/380384437684?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5890ade5b4#ht_559wt_1037) essentially i need to pass a rwc for a second time and wondering about legalities of these as they help me avoid changing springs and paying someone to reset alignments (ok i'm a tight a$$!)

lol true that. apart from the shift of weight to the rear I recon those spacer slot in ones would be the best option. pretty much just an extra spring dampener so legality shouldn't be an issue as opposed to the chocs / raisers. I'm pretty certaimn those spacer rings would be as unrw as putting a block of wood in (i've heard of it done)

i have stockies. but it involves pulling the struts out, changing springs, putting em back in, pulling em back out again, changing springs again then putting them in and paying for a front end alignment. If i can just pay $50 for some spacers I can slip in with some spring compressors I save myself hours and $$. how come everyone is a naysayer? we've all heard the stories about people putting in dodgy chocks temporarily. at least these are prupose designed. surely someone must have something positive to say? or shall i be the trendsetter? ---------- Post added 19-01-12 at 18:30 ---------- even if its not positive noone has tried anything of the like?? I don't want to come across as fishing for someone to say yes so i can feel good about doing it i was after some serious feedback either way from someone with experience or an understanding of suspension? I'd think that a spacer on a sl; front spring retaining the sl rear would be better than sl rear with soggy misaligned excessive weight transfer to rear standard front springs.
