I put lowering springs on my car and I want the front about half inch higher.
Opinions of buying plastic, like a high quality kitchen cutting board, and cutting it up to make a spacer to go between my shock tower mount top and actual shock tower bottom? Same idea as truck leveling kits.

Should work. You'll lose out on some spring travel that would otherwise improve your suspension performance. But if you squint its mint.

Yeah that would work but using metal would be better.
it's how they do lift kits on kei trucks, though since they're usually going for more height they bolt the strut to the spacer and then the spacer to the vehicle.

Don't do it ghetto like that. Get the measurements and find one of the 7 million people online who make custom 3d printed stuff and get real proper polyurethane spacers.

No no, he's talking about a spacer between the strut and the strut tower. Polyurethane would be a bad choice because you don't want squishy there. He should use aluminum or steel. Which, there's a dozen or more websites that will cut metal and ship it to you

The back is too high just cut those springs and be done with it
