Thanks,

Correct, no other suspension changes. I believe the spaceers are Ichibas, hopefully M.J. will see this and confirm.

Thanks Mike, prior to your response as I was reading this thread I was trying to figure out how spacers would effect camber - seems to me that the plane the wheel occupies relative to the plane of the ground isn't changed by using spacers, just pushed out farther from the hub but at the same relative angle. If I'm missing something someone please let me know.
