    The bottom spring cup is tapered, with a stop where the end of the spring seats, to keep it from rotating. The top cup, is flat, with the stock rubber cushion.
    It deosn't seem right to put the spacer on the bottom, when the bottom of the 912's is of the same coil shape, designed to engage the "stop" & the top is ground flat, to fit in the flat upper cup.

    IMO, the spacers should go in the upper cup, replacing the stock cushion, which is designed to accept the flat end of the spring.

    Just my opinion, waiting to hear what you're thoughts are...

    And unless longer than stock shocks are installed, I haven't seen a set of 912's drop out. Not too sure that zip ties would be strong enough anyway.

    Don't forget to replace the bumpstop that's also pictured in that image. I still need to extend mine by an inch or so.

    That is about the only thing I want to do post lift. When I flex out real hard my real tires will rub in the wheel well. Richie, let me know what you end up getting. I need to do the same.

    I used the Energy Suspensions Bumpstop, (P/N in the lift wiki thread) I used it coupled with my stock one (about 1/4 of it) I Barely rub... If I didn't have the coil spacer I wouldn't hit. With your wheel offset and no coil spacer you should be fine with just the Tall Bumpstop.

    I realize this is an old qoute and Taylor may not be active here anymore. But didn't he mean "If I DID have the coil spaicer I wouldn't hit"??
