No brand, just some ones I found on ebay. The size was 3/4 of an inch. I would put down the link but couldn't find it in my ebay purchase history. The outer diameter could have been a little bigger. Not sure how safe the spring spacers are but seems to be fine so far.

How much lower is your car in the rear? Most 450h seem only about 1/4 of an inch lower in the rear which really isn't noticeable and mine was about that too except when I have stuff in the trunk.

The ride is fine and not too bumpy but the ride quality won't be like stock.

Ok. What kind of spacers did you use for that issue?

Please read post 31. I don't have a link. I will search through my emails when I get home to try to find a link. I bought it a couple months ago on ebay from overseas. It was around $40. It took a few weeks for shipping.

Re-opening this thread! So we have an option to either buy these spacers for 1/4 inch which would make it even OR what about getting an RCA that's 1/4 lower in the front to keep it as low as possible!? Thoughts?

Energy suspension makes a coil spring isolator that I just ordered which looks like it is a great fit! I will install my springs next weekend and update. I bought the 7/16 one which should be perfect in extra height.

Love the drop! Question, are those stock wheels powder coated? And if so, what’s the specific color? I have the same exterior color on my 450 and want to powder coat a gunmetal...

Also hoping to get coils. That drop is about right, might go a tad higher and throw some spacers. Any thoughts on which for best drop while keeping near stock comfort?

Thanks!
