hope you get them tomorrow.

i ship 10-20 packages a week and any of them going to a home address get REQUIRED SIGNATURE no matter what the customer asks for, lol.

i can tell, you and I would get along great!

some day when someone steals the package off your front step and you have to buy another one, you will appreciate the required signature.

Turns out FedEx's website was wrong, and they did deliver them to my office today... after I had already gone home for the day, doh! Should be able to install them Saturday morning and go out for a quick test drive.

So whats a better spacer than the H&R?

lol... at least you know they're ready tomorrow when you get to your work.

RuiZ- ive not had issues with Kics as i posted earlier and the Eibach (with built-in lugs) seems ok as well.

They are sitting on my desk now. Hopefully these last longer than 6 months.

Installed the new spacers on Friday. All of the vibrations I was getting previously are gone, so things seem good now. Hopefully these don't break too.

I took a couple of pictures of the broken ones, I'll post them up tomorrow.

that's a clean break. i saw something exactly like this before...

flashburn · 04-25-2011, 05:48 PM

At first it looked so clean that I thought it was cut off, but looking at it closely that definitely wasn't what happened. It obviously broke apart. Cheap German crap!

kenchan · 04-25-2011, 05:54 PM

yah, im trying to find the thread where someone bought or was going to buy H&R spacers with the lip broken off. it was one of the members here that was asking about if it got the real deal or not or something. looked exactly like yours.

flashburn · 04-25-2011, 06:16 PM

Why would you do this to spacers?

flashburn · 04-25-2011, 06:21 PM

Yeah, that looks exactly the same, not completely clean cut, a bit jagged, definitely broken off I'd say. So here is that guy's answer.

kenchan · 04-25-2011, 07:02 PM

Hahaha, that's the one!
