Raising coil spring ride height
Hi all
I'm currently running Swift Spec R springs with 1.2" and 1.0" drop front to rear on a 06 Touring.
I like the ride, handling and everything else about these springs however the ride height is a tad on the low side for some of the B roads I travel.
What I would like to know is what shim type spacers are out there that fit between the springs and upper spring seats or upper mounting insulator that will raise the 350z around . 25" or 5 mm front and rear.
Also if anyone who has performed this or similar mod, what effect does this have on handling, road holding, NVH etc?
Looking forward to replies.

Ok thought I'd share what I found through my research.
Nolathane produce universal urethane pad/ trim packer bushings for a height lift of 5mm F and 6mm R.
This should level Swift Spec R springs to an overall drop of 1.0" F and 0.7/.8" R.
This will deliver me the moderate increase in suspension travel and ground clearance I'm chasing without affecting spring rates.
