    Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using the spacers with the Toytec billy 5100 lift kit other than gaining a full 3"? I ordered them with my kit but I want to say I read somewhere that there may be some disadvantages to using them.

    All the mods
    I've heard adding spacers (even small ones) to coilovers makes the ride harsher and limits shock travel.

    mostly stock, grocery gettin' Prius
    Top plate spacers like the 1/4" or 1/2" ones? Those are ok to use to achieve full 3" of lift.
