Spacers are not a suspension part. Its really self explanatory. Either bolt on or stud replacement. If stud replacement best have a shop do it.

False. From what I can understand, the 370Z uses the DRM or DRS style spacers since those are the ones that the vendors on here sell.

I Googled the DR1 you have and it looks like it's for Euro applications 5x120 (the Z is 5x114.3). That may explain why nothing is lining up. You ordered the wrong ones.

correct, as soon as you type DR1 in Google, Audi/BMW/Mercedes/VW shows up. wrong bolt pattern spacers. should say on the box the bolt pattern.

Did you personally order or did you call and have the rep order for you? If you personally ordered, you could possibly be out of luck and eating the cost and trying to resell. If the rep ordered for you then you should be able to get a shipping label sent to you free of charge to send back and they should send you new ones.

I think we have a Stillen rep on this forum. Try to contact him and see if he can help.

Unless you ordered from him directly, then I'm not sure.
