Testing some coil spring spacers on my 1986 Pontiac Fiero GT was actually pretty easy. With the 2" drop spindles, oversize wheels, and worn out front springs, the front tires rub during hard braking and cornering. I bought some spring spacers (or spring boosters) from Amazon for $10. Let's see how they perform!

Use Shoe Goo silicone adhesive. When it's wet, it works to help the spacers slide into place. Then when it dries, it won't rattle. Best part is it cures to a rubber consistency, and can be pulled off with a little effort, leaving no damage to anything.

That’s exactly what my cousin recommended to me after he watched this video. I have some in my cabinet now for the next project 👍

A couple of things..... These are designed from the ground up for use with 2 spacers, not one. I'm thinking this had some type of impact on the ride quality. The Autocraft brand that I have say to install them at a 45 degree angle, not at 180 degrees. It looked like there was ample room for this on this particular vehicle. I noticed another poster said they are "supposed" to be turned two times to get to the correct level. Actually, according to the manufacturer, they are adjustable to give you 2 height options. The second level of height is not a requirement.

Did you re-drill the hub pattern to 5 X 114.5 from the stock 5 X100. Looking at the Scion TC rims they are listed as 5 X 114.5 ? I don't see any wheel adaptors.

I once put wheels that didn't fit on my car then had to find makeshift ways of trying to avoid problems with the resulting interference. I thought I knew more than the automotive engineers. Good thing I didn't need to actually drive that car anywhere, since I was only 16. Now I am looking for ways to stiffen my suspension to overcome sagging from loading the vehicle on a stock wheel set. Thanks for the demo. I may try these.

They worked pretty well, if I were to do it again, I'd probably find the softer style to avoid the noise.

My 87 Fiero GT has stock rims and tires. Been thinking about installing more up to date rims and rubber...

Stock rims definitely have an appeal, but I prefer more modern stuff.

There are wheel adapters up front and the rear hubs have been replaced with the correct lug pattern.

I have used these many times in the past...they should not be loose...from what I could see, you only twisted them to the first stage...they are supposed to be twisted one more stage. If done properly they are extremely tight and quite hard to install, but very effective...and they will provide exactly 1" lift.
@BroBuildsGarage
@BroBuildsGarage Год назад
I was able to get one in, nice and tight, two twists like you’re saying. I couldn’t get a second one in because of the how the suspension is set up. They worked great for the few months I used them. No issues at all.

If you would have put the second one in that would have eliminated the noise for you. I had the same thing going on and I put the other side in like it recommends and the noise of the metal on metal contact was gone.

@GageClark-xc6je

It was an absolute pain in the ass I basically got it as far away from the first one that I got in and then just beat it over with a rubber hammer and was able to get it to the other side that way

Do installing those spacers mess up your springs. ?
@BroBuildsGarage
@BroBuildsGarage 2 года назад
Not mine, they were perfectly fine. I’m pretty sure the spacers are a softer metal than the springs.
@TheDigitalslayer

Rubber spacers tend to reduce chance of movement and metal -to-metal sound. But… they don’t last as long.

Its cheaper and safer to put in air lift shock helper . They cost $100-200. or old trick put in small rubber football between the coil spring , fill with air and tire anti leak sealant protector

You needed to do one more time to twist them all the way in and sit flush on the flat part of the booster. 4 in total two on each coil spring. The ones that you wrench on are a little easier to use but take a little finesse to get then into the coil spring sometimes @@BroBuildsGarage
