Experience with Z1's wheel spacers

Ron · 03-29-2011, 09:05 PM

Sup guys, anyone here has experience with these? Are they any good?
As far as design they look the same as the H&Rs and I know Z1 makes good products, but the price made me wonder... $72 for a pair of Z1's vs $115 for a set of H&Rs...15mm is what I am looking to get btw. Any input is appreciated, thanks!

That's what Z1 does. They make/ offer products of good quality for great prices. And they stand behind it. After dealing with them on some brakes for the last two weeks and discussing other products in the works. They seem to test there products for some time before releasing them.

Not knocking Z1, but H&R make an awesome first class spacer for a reasonable price. German engineering and manufacturing....

This is my car on swift with z1 spacers(15f & 20r), had it install for about 2 wks now. So far zero issue

great price, great product

They'll be fine. As long as you're not buying ebay crap for spacers, there really isn't much of a difference.

I like my spacers from Z1 I have 15mm front and 20mm rear. If you have questions ask the guys at Z1, they dont B.S. with you. I have asked about several mods and they are are honest and some mods they have told me are not worth it for what I want out of my car. Talk with them about any mod you need and they will point you in the right direction!

Cool, thanks guys, it seems I'm getting them then

I know Z1 and have dealt with them maaaany times before when I had my 300ZX. I was just looking for some feedback.

Now I don't know if I wanna do 20mm or 15mm (equal measurement front and rear since I want to keep it proportional). Do think wheels will poke with 20mm? (stock tires on nismo wheels and lowered on swifts)

I wanna keep em as flush as possible and I guess I can always add a bit more camber to achieve that, but I wanna stay as close as possible to factory camber specs since this is my daily driver and don't want to ruin my tires... what do you think?

Thanks for the pics! Stock camber with no drop right?

Nismo221 · 03-30-2011, 02:26 AM

correct

scruffydog · 03-17-2013, 04:06 AM

how about track use? Do you guys think H&R would hold up any better? Are they the same material / spec? I'm thinking of tracking on 20mm spacers after replacing the studs to ARP. Thanks! I'm finding a huge price difference and it concerns me. Anyone tracked with Z1 spacers here?
