Spring pucks

I have H&R drop springs and after having them on for 25,000miles, the front has just settled too low. I'd like to raise it 1/4-1/2" using a spring puck or spacer. Does anyone else have experience doing anything like this? The front tucks tire about 1/4" and I personally think it'll look better raised a bit.

205/45 is too high, going down to a 205/40 or even a 215/40 will fix your rubbing issue

don't use pucks or anything in the spring. not only will it cause an unpredictable change in spring rate, but I would have to wonder if it could pop out unexpectedly one day while driving.

do it right and either change ur tires or get an adjustable coilover.

I plan on going to a 15x8 when I get new wheels and don't want to worry... the most important thing now is how it tucks tire.
This is a puck I'm speaking of

These are 1/8" each. They would be placed under the spring or between the spring and top hat.

That's a spacer. Very different from what i define as a puck. That should be fine set at the seat or top. I thought you were talking about these stupid things that guys shove between the spring coils:
