All kidding aside, I did a little bit of digging. If you search eBay for front coil spring adjusters, you get almost 6000 hits. Many of these are for coil overs but a lot look like coil to coil clips rather than the spacer on yours. It’s obviously “a thing.” Maybe one of the forum suspension guys will chime in as to purpose.

I'm embarrassed to admit this, but when I was 16 I had a 64 Impala with 4 of those spacers on each side in the back to fit my Cragar SS wheels. Surprisingly they never came out. Thankfully.

Cars have gotten lighter? Springs have gotten better? Springs have gotten cheaper for sure. These days, probably majority of hobbyists want car lowered.

My .02....Bubba put them in to level the front of the car side to side. Is the car fender to ground level right now? Also check that something else in the front suspension is not bent. I had an issue due to the car getting hit on the drivers side. Had to replace a brace to fix.
