Are you getting any shaking during acceleration? If not do not worry about it and when you do just simply swap CV buckets from left to right and vice versa. It's free all you need is grease.

Or you could get the axle spacers which run $90/100 +

If you don't get shakes or clicks don't worry about it. I would just drop it and see what happens. It doesn't change the swap job at all so just give it a shot.

If you are lowered and don't have the shake under acceleration, then there's no need for spacers. If you develop the shake, then just swap the cv buckets. Still no need for spacers.

I'm lowered on Tein RA coilvers and I had shakes on accel turning right so Kevin (mlc screen name) helped me swap the cups yesterday and it drives smooth as before! Now I am boosted, stroked and lowered and been driving like that for years now so you shouldn't have to worry about it if you have no shakes. I'm lowered but not slammed or "Hella Flush" either as I like to enjoy my car on the corners and daily drive it. The swap took us a couple hours and we bought new wheel nuts as the old ones were reused before and Kevin suggested new ones just in case. We used a full synthetic grease that cost $10 and the car accelerates really smooth now and it was a cheap repair in my eyes compared to buying spacers for $110+. So IMO I'm not buying spacers and I don't think you will need them for a while either, but its your car so its your decision. Have fun out there on the roads!
