Default Hardrace driveshaft spacers

Hey guys,
I'm looking into buying driveshaft spacers and most places have sold out of T1R driveshaft spacers, while in my opinion J's racing and Spoon are a bit overprice for a piece of metal

Anyways, I was wondering has any tried Hardrace driveshaft spacers. Apparently this brand is very popular in America, however I am from Australia and I have not heard or read much about them and my distributor says they stopped dealing with T1R as they didn't like T1R's services :S
I would like to know if they are strong and durable and will stop the vibrations in my S2K.
Here is a picture from my local distributor:


Thanks,
any input would be great

Their website looks kinda crappy, but they have a pretty good selection of stuff for a bunch of cars. How much are you gonna spend on those?

Megan Racing sells the half shaft spacer at a reasonable price, might want to check them out. They are a two piece design as well;

I agree... Try either Megan Racing or Exedium brand... If anything check the grade of the bolts they come with... And if they seem to be a low grade you can always pick up some high grade bolts from any hardware store. Btw I have the Exedium brand and they're holding up great

The hardrace ones cost around $200!in Australia, which is the same price as as T1R's even if I bought it from the US because of shipping.
Also, I was reading about Megan driveshaft spacers and they tend to still give that vibration??? Could someone please justify.
And also Luis, where abouts did you pick up a set of exedium?

Thanks

All the off brand spacers look exactly the same to me, which leads me to believe that they are probably either made by the same company or are copies of each other. Now the bolts and hardware is the most important part...the spacer itself isn't as important. So getting the cheapest spacer, and then buying you own stronger bolts would be the best route.

YEP!
I came to that exact conclusion.
I'm just gonna get the cheaper Megan Racing Spacers,
and then buy Grade 8 bolts, as the strong and allow a bit of flexing

thanks for the help guys.
