I can get them. But the fronts are not 50mm tall, as that will give you 75mm or more of lift.

How much lift do you need?

Ah. Sorry I missread your post. Thought you wanted coilspacrs.

So you have lifted springs, coil spacers and now you want strut spacers? What is your CV angle like? 8O

Longer struts are a safer way. or just do a strut top flip.

So you have std springs and I'm guesiing you are running std struts Could be wrong) and you have 50mm spring spacers. So that's almost 100mm of lift.
Your std struts would be at there limits now meaning you have no or next to no drop down.
Could be totally wrong and sorry if I am but in all my years of selling spring spacers I have never known anyone running 50mm front spacers. SO what about the rears? Do you have 4" spacers to make it look level?

a 50mm spacer in the front will give you about 80-100mm lift :?

Not the case.

The front coils are roughly halfway along the lower arms between the chassis mount and the wheel. This means that any lift added at the spring is roughly doubled at the wheel. SO 50mm rear spacers and 25mm front spacers would lift it evenly.

hey fatzook i understand what your saying now ,i have 50mm in the rear so i need 25mm in the front
thanx you saved me a big head ache i could imagine what would of happened if i put the front ones in

therefore if i only put the 25mm spacers in the front i should get away with flipping the crown pieces on the front struts

That's what I said in a round about way Peter in a PM to him last night.
