Does anyone know if there are any spring pads or spring perch spacers for an '05 MCS? I installed lowering springs but I'm now scraping speed bumps much more than I'd like. Any ways of raising the ride height .3 to .5 inches, short of going to coilovers or going back to the stock springs? Thanks!

 

which springs are you using?

are you riding your bumpstops? did you cut the factory bumpstops
or use smaller bumpstops when you did the install? if not, you can just
cut the factory ones by about 1" and will give you the extra stroke you
need.

if you're scraping the bottom of the car, you can try different springs,
or i would recommend getting stiffer shocks/struts to slow down the
stroke.

im running H-sports on stock dampers and i rarely scrape bottom.
H-sports also come with new bumpstops so i rarely hit the bumpstops
either.

 

I just ordered these spacers from Mini Mania. I like the ride quality of the lowering springs I have but they make it about 1/2" too low. These should work.

looks like you can almost use some exhaust gaskets.

 

If you just want to go up that minimally, consider a tire change as well. Personally, I dropped just a tad over .5" when I went with smaller tires...
