Spacers don't make the problem worse really from what I have noticed on my car. The stock bushings causing dynamic alignment changes will do the most to cause movement under braking.

Multiple alignments aren't a big deal if you have a trustworthy Firestone shop around you for a lifetime alignment.
I've been suspecting the FLCA bushings. I imagine visual inspection won't tel you much unless they're really gone. What are the impact bushings - never heard of that before? On the FCLA's I've heard great things about delrin but can't find any suppliers. Are they only available as a custom machined part? And what's the material used on SPL's stuff?

My spacers made a small difference when I put them on but seemed very minor.

Check on the lifetime alignment. Very good investment.
