I hear you but most coilover kits will have the perch placed by the tire and would rather not have to deal with purchasing a shorter spring.

Sorry I forgot to clarify, but I am using shims on my strut bolts to gain the additional camber instead of using camber plates up top. The shims effectively moved the top of my wheel/tire closer to the strut/spring perch, thus the need for the spacers.

Ah that explains it. I knew there was a chance of needing a spacer if running a coilover kit but 10 seemed a bit high. I wonder if someone was using normal camber plates, what the clearance would then be.
