Got 20/20... Installed them, torqued to 100 ft/lb. Drove about 200 miles, retorqued them. Works as it should! Car looks much better and no vibrations or issues. Just a heads up to those who wonder if they are any good.

You know that 'hubcentric' is not a brand, right?

It's kind of in the plan, still thinking about the practicality of it. My CNT Racing exhaust already has some scrapes on it as it is...

I have too many projects lined up right now anyway (Z is parked in the driveway...garage has been taken over by poker table project)..

I scored some new SPC rear camber arms + toe bolts on craigslist though! Have them stashed in case I do end up lowering.

not sure if id trust cheap bolt on spacers to be honest...sounds like a recipe for disaster. if youre using quality extended studs (ARP, NISMO) and go with cheap spacers, thats fine. but going with cheap bolton spacers will leave your car looking like this

yea...bolt on spacers lead to way too many failure points. im not saying all bolt on spacers are bad, but cheap ones are obviously not up to par. you dont want to cheap out on the most important part that keeps your wheels bolted to your car...

Follow up on this... 1 year and 10k miles later, I took off all four wheels to inspect the spacers. All four look to be in good shape, and all the nuts were holding their 100 ft/lb of torque. So far so good!
