Default Do I need Half shaft spacers for .5in drop?

Hey I just started modifying my S for a time attack series thats going to be run in my country. Im first trying to get the most out of stock trim, I have a 2006 completely stock suspension wise but Im starting to get all the parts together to start modifying by next month.

I just ordered a set of 949s 6ULR's with sticky tires and Tein Mono Flex coil overs. I only plan to lower the car .5 inches. Ive read that half shaft spacers, bump steer kits and even roll center adjusters are often recommended. Should I look into these parts even though Im only lowering the car between .5-.7 inches? Thanks in advance, loving the car (my first honda).

no if you're just talking about what you need for lowering 0.5 inches.

the rca's will be for getting more camber than the oem joints provide.

If you're only going half an inch, I don't think so. If it does, refer to the thread that macr88 posted.

i'm dropped to a one finger gap all around for the last 60k miles and don't have spacers - car has 107k total miles on it now, no issues, and it gets driven pretty rough.
