When adjusting handlebar height you do NOT remove spacers. You MOVE spacers from bellow to above (or visa versa) the stem. You then NEED to put the correct tension back on the adjustment bolt and torque the securing bolts properly. If you get it wrong the bikes steering will be dangerous.
I think you need some in person help on this one until you know what you are doing.

I do mean the spacers around the stem. Would I need to increase seat height if I remove a spacer from the stem because the handle bars will now be lower.
When I'm in my drops I don't feel like my pedaling is as powerful as when in the hoods because I' ma bit lower so theoretically based on my experience I would need to increase the seat height I'm just wondering if this is standard practice when removing spacers from the stem.
