Spring Spacers?
So i just got new murano wheels on my SVX but the rears slightly rub on the outside fender when i hit a bump or corner hard. I still have the stock struts and springs so they're not adjustable at all, and i dont have the money to buy anything major. But I was lookin around the internet and found these:

Re: Spring Spacers?
Should work, but I wouldn't count on those as a permanent solution. The ideal thing would be to go to a stiffer spring with the same ride height and limit suspension travel over bumps.
If I ever do get around to fitting STi suspension into my car, I may look into also fitting Forester suspension for winter, to lift it up and give me some extra ground clearance

Re: Spring Spacers?
No, sorry. I'm sure there's someone who can tell you, or at least someone who has a spring out of the car that they can measure.

Re: Spring Spacers?
They'll raise it but will also take a link out of action for the suspension which will make your springs weaker and then you'll be more likely to rub over bumps. You're better off making a spacer which goes atop or at the bottom of the spring between the collar or top mount and the spring.
