BC Racing BR coilover installation help (or Megans)

[tmontague]

I got my BR's in the mail yesterday and will be installing them this weekend but I was prepping the mounts to test fit everything and noticed that the BR's come with a spacer that sits on the front strut stem. It is the same as seen in the picture in post #25

I noticed that with the spacers the bearing doesn't sit very flush to it and it doesn't mate and put perfect pressure on the right spot on the bearing. Without the spacer, the bearing fits perfectly flush and makes good contact with the top spring perch.

My question is can anyone confirm that the spacer is needed or has anyone ran either BR's or Megan coilovers without the spacer?

Without the spacer I had to move the spring up about 3mm for proper preload but other than that I see no issues.
