Search for Mr. Gasket 1285. These have a groove on the bottom and a flat top. The 1287 has a groove on top and bottom and will also work. I bought some similar at Pep Boys.

summitracing.com sells the Mr. Gasket ones as does cskauto.com

I just installed some tonight. Much tougher than I anticipated.

You might PM or e-mail Christo at Slee and see if he has them.

THose are the ones i have. Are they really that tough to install? Seems like it would be pretty easy.

I lifted the entire front end up off the ground and let it fully droop. Then I stood on the wheels to try to get it to droop further. I had to have a friend pry the spring down to get the spacers in. This was tough because they move around. I think if you used a spring compressor it would be fairly easy. I think it might help to disconnect the sway bars. A couple of busted knuckles and they are in now. I thought it would be as easy as swapping the springs but it wasn't quite that simple. Maybe I was just tired?

I'm small enough I was able to get inside the wheel well and push down on the axle with my feet wgile pushing the spcer in. Of course I had the frame on jack stands and the wheels off.

BTW, I used the Mr. Gasket spacers and sourced 'em at the local parts store.
