    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.
    cheers

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

    what do spring spacers do exactly? lower or raise the car? and do i have them as standard in my car and if i do have them could i take them out to lower the car slightly?

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