Wow, thanks. Now this will help out with alot of the mods i want and wanna do. And you dont have the spacers? You dont hear the vibrating or feel the vibrating from the shaft? Look on the thread from Sean Juan on race jax in his for sale thread about his suspension he is selling. I guess not everyone gets it. And you my friend is slammed. LOL!! I think your the lowest s ive ever seen. But i think the speed bumps on base will kill me.

I added the half shaft spacers from T1R but honestly I coudn't tell the difference at all. =) The best thing I did when lowering my car was doing the adjustable rear toe arms. My car doesn't pull left or right on uneven roads and it's so much easier to drive in the rain now.......still scary in the rain but not as much. =)

The vibration comes from wear on the inside of the Axle cup. Mine got the dimple at about 80k miles. It's a simple 20min fix for free. No need for spacers at all. My car drives as smooth as butter even at 105k miles of slammage.

The spacers can fix the vibration just like swapping the inner housings. I did the spacers. Much easier and they're only $100. It slows down the wearing too.

I'm sorry Sean. Lol. Spacers a waste of money. It's seriously 15min fix. Will last longer than you have the car. There is an entire thread just about that and how people are mad for wasting their Money. Lol

The spacers slow down the wear. I don't know why there's a debate on that. It took away my vibration. Sure it will come back. It will come back if you just swap the cups too. It's going to wear either way. My point with the spacers is it fixes the positioning of where the axles sit, moving them closer to where they came from the factory. If you don't want to spend $100 for that, then don't.

Not going to go back and forth but we can have our opinions. I trust my firsthand experience over what people say online.

The hardtop will be in Monday. You guys want to come up here to the stadium at 5pm and install it here? I was told we can drive my car into the loading dock to do it. Or if someone has a truck (idk if it will fit on a pickup), we can take it elsewhere to install it.
