OK, talked with Arthur at Shox.com <http://shox.com/> and he said they do
not carry the spacer but to check with ground control, ground control
reffered me to Eibach, Eibach said their spacers are for coil overs and
basically I should just live with the set up as is b/c it is engineered as
such.
 This sucks. Any ideas?
