its your height that matters as much as mileage/how much wear is on your CV buckets that determine if you will have issues. usually most people have issues if they lower their car after ~20K. if you have none of the symptoms/issues just leave it, or for comfort swap your cv buckets. its free.

So long as you purchased a quality set of spacers, it won't hurt anything. Some of the cheaper spacers came with inferior bolts...and we've seen some examples where the bolts have broken on cars driven pretty hard.

had a J's Racing driveshaft spacer installed the 1st day i got the car. just wondering does it compromised on anything if its not too lowered? i.e front from fender to wheel center is 330mm rear 340.

I guess if it doesnt helps to have it in there, might as well remove it.

i bought the t1r racing version spacers. i didn't want the street version because i though it might break on me if i push the car hard.
