Btw, can this be done without an impact driver?

The only problem you'll have is pulling the extended lugs through the hub without the hub rotating. The shop that did mine did it all by hand, but used a steering bearing of some sort that kept the hub from turning while they pulled the lugs through.

Do it all yourself (springs and spacers) in about 5 hours total including time for beer and pizza and save the money!!! That is more mod money right there!

Thanks for the write up Wheee! I did my spacers this weekend and your DIY did help, + rep!

I was able to pull all studs in using a socket wrench, I only used a an impact driver at the very end to ensure they were all the way in. The stack of washers allowed the nut to turn without turning the stud.

Glad I could help! Enjoy the new look.

$560 for install of spacers...way too much. I had mine done for $125.

I think 125 is too much. A lot of good mechanics charge 45 to 60 an hour. I'm not a certified mechanic but I know what I'm doing and had all 4 done in slightly over an hour. Without a lift and using an impact. Doing one complete corner at a time. Just saying. Ask them why in the crap it's so expensive. Justify that amount. Idk.

That is fast! Are they bolt on's or stud replacement?

stud replacment. i think i was like an hour and 20 or something. first time doing it too.. its extremely easy if you have the tools and common sense

That is fast - I wasn't working really hard and didn't know what to expect the first time through. I could probably do one spacer in under an hour without an impact wrench. Once I started doing it, I basically took most of the day - I enjoy working on the car so I take my time. :)

Would really like to see some pics here once you get your drops and spacers done! :)

I have the 15mm & 20mm spacers (of course) as well as the SWift Springs. I just put the summer stock Rays back on yesterday. The negative camber from the drop plus stock does reduce the flushness of the spacers by a small amount. I will get pictures up soon. It looks like you could easily go 20mm front and 25mm rear and still have lots of clearance. I haven't driven much with the new setup yet, so I will have to see if I experience any rubbing issues. I think that I will stick with the 15 & 20 setup though.

20mm & 25mm will work on stock sport rim tires with Swift. Just had mine installed last night and the bro's is being installed this morning. I will not have pics until the springs settle. But if you check out the swift thread I believe someone has that setup with pics.

Ah yes, I'll head on over there now! Pics when your springs settle though would be sweet!:tiphat:

ty for the diy... jus did it today.. the fronts were a breeze the rears I couldnt figure out how keep the hub loose to rotate so I went to a friends shop and put in on the lift and kept it in neutral.. easy peasy
