Default need help

i have the koni yellow with the ground control set up
i took it to a local alignment place where i asked them to lower my car cornor wieght with alignment

after they lowered the car the guy told me that a few months back a guy came in with a s and gave him some axel spacers said you needed to put them on so you dont brake an axel

then i called up a buddy at a honda dealer and said he never heard anything about it but i might need a bump steer kit

do i need any of this or am i safe with a drop in ride hight with what i have

thanks

nope, axles/driveshaft spacers are not necessary but it wouldn't hurt installing it. Ive had my car lowered over 4 years now without any problems

If you are lowered,more than 1"inch,it's a good investment.

good investment- i have the t1r spacers- which don't require the removal of the axle- shaves a lot of time off the install. but no the spacers are not required

As long as your not putting tremendous amount of stress on the axles while dropped ( dumping at 6k on a track ) then your fine.

Ask me how I know


Oh and the bump steer kit would be nice to have.
