    nope,the cars come standard with them.all your doing is replacing with thicker ones.you might be thinking of the wheel spacers?and just to clarify the front ones are the ones i want as the rears are readily available.

    No i am talking about suspension coil spring spacers. From what i understand in most states they are illegal.

    What they do is stop coil binding. If you took them out the coils would creak every time you went over a decent bump.
