Someone should make some copies and start selling them for even less. They'd make a ton.

Same thing, 1/10th the price.

Having bought one of those ETDs, I can tell you that it looks like it was purchased at one tenth the price too. I never installed it and it's now collecting dust in my garage only because I'm too lazy to throw it away.

I dont know about the ETD, but I would buy the replica driveshaft spacers. After all they are just a piece of metal machined to spec.

I love how these idiots call them "drive shaft spacers" (even on Bulletproof) when in all actuality they are AXLE SPACERS!!

Honestly(for the axle spacers) if the bolts are of the same strength that there should be no problem with these as there is only a shear force applied and the bolts take that load.

Axles = drive shafts (they are shafts that drive the wheels..."half-shafts", if you will). But who really cares?

What are the specs on the spacers? How far do they space the driveshafts out? Why did the guy actually knock off a J's Racing installation diagram? What is the quality of the bolts used in this "kit"?

Too many unanswered questions for me, as with many knock-off eBay products.

Why not just start building knock-off exhausts, too? I mean, it's not going to compromise saftey and it's just a piece of metal? Because there are some people that care about quality, R&D, and knowing that if something doesn't live up to their expectations 6 months down the road there is a company they can contact, not a guy who they know knocks off other people's parts and obviously doesn't give a s*** about his parts or customer service. His installation diagram is still in Japanese! How long would it really take an AMERICAN company to type up an installation diagram for some driveshaft spacers? I would just not buy parts from someone who obviously doesn't care about these things when designing parts, especially on a car that so much R&D, quality manufacturing, and amazing engineering has gone into so far.
