^^ No...they are not needed. If you start to get vibration--and you probably will given the age of your car--you can simply swap the inner CV buckets from the driver side to passenger and vis versa.

 

Yeah, but I heard that it makes your axles weaker b/c they're sitting at a different angle, so if you're making a good amount of power it's easier to snap the axles.

 

I have a 2000 model been dropped well over 2yrs only 1inch all around get abit of vibration now, will be installing the T1R's Half spacers, will see how i go.

 

T1R's FTW I got the Race Blue ones easy install u should feel no vibration

 

Thats what im hoping for!

cheers

 

so these go between the drive shaft and the back bridge or the back bridge and the half axles?

 

yep, not needed for ap2 but ap1 definitely.

I'm actually going to be putting a set of t1rs up for sale this weekend so if your interested, pm me.

 

I have the t1r spacers installed on my 01'. Years ago, I had HKS springs, which lowered my car about 1.5", then went with Tien coilvers afterwards, and then returned to stock suspension for while. I noticed a slight vibration, but only at speeds over 80mph. A few months ago, I had kwv3's installed and decided to get the t1r spacers installed as well. After the install, I noticed my car felt a bit smoother when moving forward, and the vibration I had is now gone.

 

Here's the pic of the spacers installed.



That's not true. As long as the S2000 (00-09) has been lowered, the angle inside the axles will change and this will cause wear vibration.

 

There is a huge long thread in the Under the Hood forum where this was examined carefully...even with CAD drawings to scale for the s2k. The angle difference was insignificant.
