Black Dragon Auto sells ride height adjusting plates for the front suspension (see attachment...number 40). Does anyone know how thick they are? I need to figure out how many I need to order. I got the spacers and longer wheel studs for my new tires and wheels and got them mounted up, and they rubbed badly. So I experimented with putting washers on top of the strut mounting block to raise the ride height. Right now I have 11mm on the left and 4mm on the right and it's just about perfect...I could stand to go another millimeter or two on each side because there is still a very slight rub. Even with it raised like that it isn't as high as the rear, so it still look ok.

Thanks,
Rich

 

I believe they are roughly 1/8". I had to put 2 on the driver's side to level things off.

 

Thanks slorimer -

I need to bump this to see if anyone has actually measured them. They're $15 each, so I want to make sure I get what I need.

mazdatrix sells those spacers.

 

Seems like they would be awful cheap to make yourself if you had access to any sort of equipment. Maybe something out of Delron?

 

I got my adjusting plates from MazdaTrix this week and got them installed today...they're 5mm. The factory service manual says you shouldn't put more than 2 on a side, but I had to put 3 on the driver's side and one on the passenger's side to get it high enough to prevent rubbing.
