I bought the SAH606's (T26 Front Coil Spring Competition Grade)
I was told that the spacers (which I don't have) were not necessary.
My car now has a 3.5" front ground clearance, but the camber is OK.
I get the feeling that nobody really knows which bits go with which...
I've been meaning to order a set of the spacers and see what that does,
but I haven't done it yet.  My visualization skills when it comes to
suspension geometry are less than perfect.  Anybody out there got a
better idea?
