are you using those spacers because your rear springs are worn out or because you want to lift it up? i learned in my steering and suspension class that there are two things a should never, ever do to automotive suspension springs. one is cut them and the other is to use spacers. of course there are plenty of smacks that will say i cut mine no problem, i used spacers and they work great. yes it can be done but shouldnt be. when you cut a coil spring you change the spring rate, the properties of teh spring and if you dont recover with polymer paint, will expose the spring to rust and that is bad. as for the spacers, they cause stress points at specific spots on the spring and that isnt good either. wherever the spacer touches the spring, that area will receive more stress and wear than the rest of the spring and could eventually fail (ie. break). they should be used temporarily at best, there like spare tires.
