I am really low, no gap at all and I do not run them. I have been this low for about 10k miles so far with no problems. I have heard arguments for and against the spacers before. I have had no problems so I am not running any.

They will help eliminate the extra stress placed on the driveshaft from lowering the car. I recommend getting them.

Use the search...this question comes up at least once a week.

Spacers are not required. There are cheaper solutions should you develop the vibration common with lowered s2ks after they have more than 30-50k miles. The inner CV buckets can be swapped from right to left to fix that. Spacers can also fix the vibration. One peice spacers are useless as they take nearly as much work to install as it does to swap CV buckets. 2-peice spacers can save time, but at a cost.
