comparing the two, J's offer 10mm, 2.5mm more than Motorklasse (7.5mm), will that extra give the axle more life? The price difference between both is about $50. Honda had fixed the problem by extending the joint about 10mm on the AP2. Motorklasse has there spacers to 7.5mm in the event that you can put the car back to stock height without removal of the spacers, is anyone of the two better than the other? thanks for the input. looking to get a set asap!
Where did you get the info on Honda fixing the problem for the Ap2?

ap2 axles are longer according to quite a few people that i have seen on this forum.

Also, the seller that sells on this forum says that they are not needed for AP2's since the axles were extended on the new cars.

Its just an example of how those companies will try to make an extra buck however they can.

I have yet to see one of the companies claim that they are needed for AP2s

well, i think that im going to hold off on the J's and wait for spring to arrive to get the T1R spacers, dont know how much they are going to be, however, they will be so much easier to install. They are split in two. And they are made for 00-06 AP 1/2
So im guessing, if youre lowered, no matter what MY, it would be a good investment to get a set of spacers.
Check em out...
