LOL good call...yea i really dont think im going to do it, cuz if im gonna go threw the time to take the spring out, i rather put in a new one thats ment to lower the car. Im just curious to whether it will make the back look lower then the front or make it look even.

Just to inform those interested in this mod, I took it off today to inspect for wear and check height differences. I have had this on the car for atleast two months. There was a little dirt built up on the hose, but didn't look to be much wear. There were absolutely no markings or dents on the frame/mounting area on the car itself. I removed the hose and reinstalled the factory isolators to check both ride height and ride quality. Both measurements were taken today with about a 1/4 tank of gas. With the hose installed, the ride heights were 28-1/8" and 27-3/4" for the drivers side and passengers side rear wheel wells. After replacing the isolators and driving for a few minutes to make sure they were fully seated, the ride heights were 28-3/4" and 28-3/8". So that is a 5/8" difference on both sides.
The ride noise and quality were really close. I could tell is was slightly quiter and a bit more "isolated", for lack of a better term, with the spacers on the car. But these differences were only apparent because I had driven the car 1/2 hour earlier. The back to back nature of the test made it more apparent. You would not be able to tell which was which simply by riding with me once.
So, its about a 1/2" drop for "free". No real performance differences, and no visible wear and tear after 2+ months. Hopefully that will help you make your decisions, based on some actual experience and not someone's "opinion". If you think your car is just a bit too high in the back, then you may want to try this out. It is certainly cheaper than new springs. However, if you want a significant drop, or both the front and rear need to be lowered, you will probably be disappointed with the results.
