Default Racelands... Help me make this somewhat better
I have raceland coilovers. I want to add a bit of height to the back to maybe help better the ride. I currently have ~200-250lb spring in the back, but they're too short. I wanted to add the helper spring that comes with the kit in order to be able to add some inches to the back. However I lost the spacer needed in order to use the helper spring. Any suggestions on what I could do? I would get another set of spring but I don't have the money right now.

I went full retard. Im trying to add height. I didn't use the thread thinking for some reason that would compress the spring more. I really didn't have that much problem because I use to barely drive the car, but now I'm making regular ~500 miles trips every now and then and it's killing me.

I'm going to get the spacers and add the helper spring, that should help.

Sell the Racelands on craigslist. Buy something that doesn't suck.
