Apexi WS Discontinued Coilovers, Help~

Wsup guys,

I just picked up a set of Apexi WS Coilovers from another member on here, but he didn't have a spacer and a washer for one of the coils.

I've asked a couple of Apexi dealers, but they either tell me that they don't stock any parts, or that they don't sell coilovers period. I've went to Lowes, looks like I can get a washer similar to the one I need, but I'd rather get the washer that I need for peace of mind.

Does anyone know where I can acquire these two parts? Either directly from Apexi somehow, or get them fabricated somewhere.. Dunno

Also, I know that if a spacer is missing, then the ride height will be slightly off, and that it might affect handling and cause improper tire wear. But what would happen if I just didn't use spacers at all on any of the corners? Would that cause excessive noise and affect ride quality?

Thanks

your best bet would be to call apex'i directly. tell them your situation and i'm sure they'd know what to do next. from my past experiences, they've been really helpful.

if i was in your shoes, i would send them all four coilovers to them to be re-valved and replace these missing parts.

what spacers and washers are you talking about exactly?

i've got two spare, complete setup, for the rear, that i'm trying to sell.

How much would it cost to get em re-valved? including shipping costs.. I got these for $150, with about 30K on em by the way. Been sittin in my room for about a month since I don't have the spacer.
