Need to raise back end
I lowered my car several months ago and not that the springs have settled the back end has dropped about 1/4 to a 1/2 inch more than i wanted. How can I raise the rear back up this amount? Do they make spring spacers and if so where can i buy them?

you could try the heater hose mod on the springs.....not sure if that'd give you enough but it'd probably give you a quarter inch.

go to your local parts store and look in the towing section. There they have this rubber blocks that you can insert in between the coils to give it a small lift. that should help you out.

+1 on the Heater Hose Mod on bottom of spring . Be sure you keep the upper rubber isolator in place.

it's supposed to be done to lower the height of the rear. You take the isolator out of the top and then slide a heater hose up on the spring and put the spring back in.....that will give you a little drop in the rear. In your case you could leave the isolator in place and slide the hose over the spring and it may give you a little bump in height. Probably not a lot but maybe a quarter inch or so.

will the heater hose not wear out over time or compress?

I run stock rear springs and the heater hose mod...I love it.
If you still have your stockers, I would do that.
