Has anyone fitted these, or anything similar to the Calibra???

They come in the following sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm

Any information will be much appreciated... :clap:

I think they are fitted to adjust the ride height, with Lowering Springs...

But is there any such a part, fitted to the Calibra Rear Springs as Standard???

As My Rear Springs don't appear to be level, and was wondering if this might be the cause!!! :think:

They fit under the rear coil spring. I made them out of a bit of 6mm conveyor belt to help reduce the rear camber until I can alter the suspension arm.

Did You do the 'Rear Springs' Job Yourself?

I was wondering if there are any of these fitted already, as Standard at the Rear Springs???

So I recently fitted some New KYB Rear Shocks with K-Mac Springs...
Being that the Springs lowered the car too much, I fitted some Whiteline Rear Spring Pad Bushing, to adjust the ride height, to my liking...
I'm really pleased with the Performance and Looks...
