Great thread guys! I have one thing to add myself: In my case there was an extreme case of rubbing of those 2 bolt heads to the shock towers. So I can tell you the simptoms: The car feels like it doesn't have any suspension at all. It only bounces on the tire wall. And of course the higher the sidewall, the more bouncing you get.
Now, in my case I fixed it with plastic spacers, like the ones described by Alex, but that lead to another problem:
Using one 2mm spacer on one side, and 2mm on the other side, gives you 4mm more length between the 2 anti-roll bar mounting bolts, which are on the spring plates. So, the anti-roll bar is now 4mm shorter. I didn't realise that, and I mounted it just like before, ofcourse tensioning it by 4mm. That lead to the anti-roll bar pulling one of those little bushings out, and setting it free after only a few hundred kilometers.
So, if you are going to use spacers, go ahead and use the same width on the anti-roll bar mounting bolts also!
