hi
i bought a set of wheel spacers from the guy in ireland for £55 (bargain)
but they are one piece spacers, someone has some for sale that come in 2 parts,

is that purely to make fitment easier? as the j's racing ones are one piece aswell,

if it makes fitment much easier i am tempted to take a hacksaw to them and create 2 piece ones,

option 1 : leave as 1 piece and fit as they are

option 2 : Cut in half and fit

opinions please

Don't cut them! They are made from a single peice! Cutting them may destroy the balance unless you can do it as precise as the guys that make them.

Fit as they are, my local garage fit mine and rear control arms for 2 hours costing £117.

The rear arms are a pain as he had to heat and hammer out the camber bolts.

You near Oxford?

kind of im in dorset,

if there not that hard to fit ill just have a go myself as im mechanically minded and gotta jack the car up to change my exhaust,

didnt think about them being balanced.

Coolness, while mine was up I changed the buckets from left to right also to give them a fresh surface to deface (so you only get problem in reverse if anything), be careful of the massive bearings on the spider (half shaft) as they can fall out.

It's an easy job if you got a balljoint removal tool, or bloody good with a hammer.

im excellent with a hammer, almost as good as JEZZA

Hey Rob. Any idea of how low you need to be for these to be worthwhile?

Cheers

tbh not a clue,

i was told by a s2k guru that any lowering and you should run them, and for only £50 i thought hey id rather pay for them then risk driveshaft failure.

some people on here run lowered cars without them and have had no problems,

for £50 id rather fit them.

Prevention is cheaper than cure

Mine are separate ones
