Tai,
I seem to remember the springs still positively locating on the shock tower okay with the spacer removed, when I did mine. I can check tonight my old shocks are lying around the garage somewhere.
In contrast I switched to the Hall/Aldan adjustables and was recommended to reuse the OEM stock rubber boots to help locate and stop those springs jumping around.
