Good discussion. The top lifters / spacers look good. I have a similar prototype running right now and may try and sell them for the front. As for spacers / lifters. There are may lift kits out there that are designed especially to lift the body of the vehicle. Google suspension lift kits and see what happens. Also known as Body Lifts, Leveling Kits, Lift Blocks, Block Kits, etc.
As for the argument that all vehicles sag, I agree, but camber issues on the 9 5 along with the new springs and shocks not fixing the issue even with the rest of the system in "pretty good shape" is an interesting problem. On the fronts, even with new strut, new springs it is still under spec.
I also have seen that when the car (especially wagons) are loaded the camber is interesting for a long drive, tire wear.......
Anyway, it's clear that because of design / wear / replacement spring mfg / there are some issues that have to be dealt with and one way is to put after market spacers / lifts in the suspension system to bring the car back to specs.
Stay tuned for a back lifter that will not have to have the strut removed.....
