 I am less sure about the positioning of a rear spacer / shim, because I have not personally had the rear suspension of my GT apart (yet). It might be harder to install a shim at the top of the coil spring than at the bottom, because there is a dowelled seat (Jensen part #91411) at the top of the spring which needs to locate into the chassis rail. It might be easier to put a shim between the spring retainer (Jensen part #91415) at the bottom of the coil spring and the flat surface of the top of the trailing arm.

Also here is a picture of the front coil spring spacer from my GT, so you can get an idea of dimensions. I doubt any of the usual spares sellers would have these (as they may only have been fitted to some GTs), but getting one fabricated should not be too difficult.

Hope this helps...
