Spring spacers?

Hi All
I recently put a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Spring on my 01 Accord. I have adjusted to the ride, but the drop is a bet to low for my taste( 1.5" front 1.7 Rear). I was wondering if there is something out there to place under the spring perch to raise it up .5" or so. I’m thinking of a rubber donut the spring would sit on or something.
Thanks

There is such a thing but you are only going to get maybe 1/2 and inch out of them, and most of them are poly-urethane and will be noisy.
Honestly for all the time and money to remove the springs I would get new ones that suit your height needs better.

I would not feel safe with spacers in, personally

What vehicle do you drive that makes a drop of 1.5-1.7" too low!

i didnt start the thread, but i have an 89 lude that is 1.5in dropped, and it is pretty low... cant take many speedbumps... big compressions in the freeway at high speeds create spark shows, and it is generally damn low... and it really funked up my susp geometry... your balljoints are supposed to point up, and mine are in the 45 degree range... not good if you hit a bump hard.... but i love the ride... i just have to watch out...
