Yup, nothing worse than an ovalized rear hat hole! Its what eventually happened with our original experience. The strut spigot still moved a bit and eventually ovalized the hole even more. No amount of spacers was going to make up the difference.
They're not making 02/03 springs?

I looked at doing this when I was getting rid of my coilovers (in fact, I think you pointed me to the washer mod thread on NASIOC orginally), and decided based on all the feedback that it wasn't worth the potential trouble.
