And the stance looks much better since you took out the rear spring spacers. It was incentive for me to take out my rear spring spacers! It(my car) now has the look I wanted. And it seems to "ride" smoother since the springs don't have as much "preloading". Regards, Marlin.

Marlin,
I wish I knew what color it was. The owner that had the car in 1991 when it was done cannot remember what color was used.
This is going to sound really strange, but removing the spring spacers only changes the preload of the coilover when it�s not holding up your car. Once the car is lowered onto the ground and onto its wheels the weight of the car compresses the spring between the upper and lower end of the shock until the spring holds up the car. Removing the spacer only changes the position of the lower end of the spring, relative to the A arm, causing the car to sit lower.
