Spring spacers? I know what they are, but I've never seen anyone use them on a non-race car. The only thing I could suggest is to get a big piece of polyurethane or aluminum round stock and make a piece that goes above the rear spring. Or you could have bought sedan springs (doesn't goldline make em or someone?).

where do we get a big piece of polyurethane or aluminum that we can put above the springs?
do they make one for our cars?

No they don't make it. You have to do it. You need a lathe or something that can drill a hole in the center of it. You have to make a donut unless you get lucky and find one with an inner diameter of the donut being larger than the outer diameter of the shock AND thick enough that the whole spring sits on it.

Ask guys on s2ki.net about spring spacers. It was a big problem on MY00-MY02's and it was a problem.

You could also try calling your local GM/Ford dealer. They should know what you mean... But don't let them know it's for a Honda , they woun't like it.

I was thinking of making spacers to go between the spring and top plate of the strut. It should work because there is a lot of thread left on the top plate to bolt up inside the car. Wasn't too sure on what material to use. I was actually thinking some kind of rubber that would be easy to cut. My rear is saging like a ****.
