Where can I get spring spacers for an FC?

I remember seeing a picture a while back of a spacer for the rear of an FC that fits in between the upper strut mount and the spring to increase ride height. I'm mentionning this because I saw the RS-R race springs online and other than the excessive drop in the rear they seem good (1.2 inches front 2 inches rear). I'd like to be able to get these, but I'd want to raise the rear up to at least the level that the front is, so I'd need a spacer of at least 0.8". I'd maybe want to raise the front too, so that I don't have too much tire killing negative camber. Can someone please let me know if there is anywhere that I can gget these commercially, because having them custom made would be alot of work on my part (to make the drawings, get the measurments etc) and would cost alot.

Thanks

Mr. Gasket makes a hard rubber 1" spring spacer You will have to cut them to the diameter of your springs with a hack saw. They cost around $10 each from Summit.

I have spacers we get from Japan. They are studded spacers in great widths. You must remember to check for a cavity in your "wheel's pad" to take the extra length of the factory lugstud in the event the spacer is less than maybe 25-30mm.

They come in

15, 20, 25, 30 I think millimeters of course. They are about $100.00 a pair, billet aluminum studded AND THE BEST PART, CAN BE HUBCENTRIC. They make a modular hubring for this spacer. It's dope. I used it for FD wheel onto FC. But made it hubcentric to the FD wheel, tried to mate the spacer to my FC as close to lugcentric as possible by taking my time and spinning the hub.

I don't have anymore and frankly we mostly keep it for silvia 1.25 pitch and mazda 1.5. I will have to call my friend's shop and see if they have any. Whole set is like $200 with the hubrings i think. Shoot me a email.
