they aren't necessary, in that there's nothing wrong wth not ading them. Fitting them however will get you a bit more travel on the front suspension

When mounting my coils the mechanic have mount the ball joint spacers too.
It have increase 1,2" (3cm)to the ground, however the transmission starts tacking (tack tack tack) when I turn right (it used to do that before but only when i push it to the limit).
Does this coil swap destroy transmissions?
Sorry for the bad english, if you don´t understand something i´ll try to explain better.

Your english is fine
It sounds to me like it is your outer constant velocity joint on the front drive shaft. If it was clicking before, then the longer coils will show it more.
When all components are in good condition, then longer coils don't affect them noticeably

yes I would say that it is one of your CV joints and not your transmission.
This is good news as it is cheap and easy to do a CV joint compared to a transmission
