Smart Lowering Spring Spacers


Smart Lowering Spring Spacers

Want to install your tighter lowering springs but do not want to drop the front end to low, here is your solution, Breathless Performance Front End Spring Spacers. They raise you 3/4 of an inch for a level height front to rear. That way the front end does not bottom out on hard bumps.

This way you have the same spring rate matched for the front and the rear giving you a stable ride.

Aftermarket springs tend to drop the back end perfect but drop the front too low, when you hit a hard bump the shock compresses into itself causes a hard jolt and later in time could damage the shock.

So customers that have the lowering performance springs in the rear but do not want them in the front due to the front end dropping so low would cause a harsh ride if you hit any kind of bump (I was one of them that had it lowered all the way around and it hit really hard on bumps to the point that it collapsed the shock and blew the oil out).

Remember the shock is a certain length and has a certain collapse range and as you lower the car you are getting less travel on the shock and actually hitting the bump stop on the shock on hard bumps. With those that have the lowered shocks all the way around try pushing the front end down and you will find about an inch of travel only.
That being said the customers that did not want that problem only replaced the rear springs and left the front along.. BIG PROBLEM, the spring kits are designed to work together front and rear and have specific spring rates and by using stock on the front and stiffer lower springs on the rear the car is mis-balanced. The solution is to raise the front slightly.


1. More level ride height front to rear
2. More travel of the shock for a smoother ride
3. Less chance of collapsing the shock (Non warranty issue and you pay the bill of about 600.00 if you do collapse the shock)
4. Car is balance perfectly to handle correctly with the correct spring rates.
