this does not agree with my experience. i'm using KW V1 coilovers (which use the conical front spring, possibly the exact same spring as the ST?), and at my height, which is about an inch lower than stock, the spring perch and spring are still above the tire, so when using reasonably-sized tires, no spacer is required with my et45 arc-8 front wheels. i have to use a spacer to get the 255/35 star spec to work, but that's just to clear the strut body, not the perch or the spring.
