I raised my spring pads (on one side), so as to get some lift as well as straightening the springs.

Very nice job.

I've been thinking to do that as well but in Holland it's not allowed to weld on controlarms.
So i hope they wont notice it the way i did it the next inspection.

Well, the control arms are installed. I'm happy with the result. Nice straight springs. No fading any more.  I needed only 1 spacer to level it up. (less then a inch) :) The control arms are painted with a 1K coating.
