The Eibach's made it a lot better on the rough roads here in Indiana, I made a spacer out of some 1/4" rubber I had, compressed the spring and inserted it above the spring cup. But I think the weight of the car has compressed it down to about an 1/8". I know they make 3 or 4 different spring cups of different thickness, I had called a big Chrysler parts place back when I lowered my car and they had told me witch one's mine were by giving them my VIN #. At the time I still had the OEM wheels on it & was more concerned with getting the back to drop more because it only dropped about 1/2" to 3/4". Now that I have bigger wheels & tire's the back is okay, it's the front I need to raise just a little. I guess I need to get hold of them again and find out what mine are in the front to see if I can get a taller pair. here's a picture to show you how close the tire's are to the fender on the front, I do get a little rub when I hit a dip in the road. What is the name of the site with the spacers you posted pic's of?
Thanks, Steve
The example pic is of Daystars who provide spring "pucks" for suvs and trucks but they may have one that fits.

If I wanted to soften the ride of my SRT-6 the first place I'd look would be a junk yard for a set of Base/Limited springs; they're pre-engineered for the car with the same height but not as stiff. Since you already have the Eibachs maybe someone can machine a couple of aluminum spacers for the front suspension. It's not uncommon for Fieros.

BTW, that's a nice wheel/height combo but the offset looks a bit "non-stock" (hard to tell from the angle). If so, bringing them in might help reduce any contact or rubbing problems as well.

If we had a McPherson Strut then that could be a yes. The Crossfire's ride height is determined by the springs, or incorrectly, the wheel diameter.
