I'm buying v2 spacers off of somebody on this org and I need to know has anybody had good or bad experiences with it... What Torch is recommended???

 

make sure there isn't any damage to them, improperly installed spacers (or improperly removed) can be damaged by overtorquing during install or prying them off during uninstall. torque them to manufacturer recommended 75 ft/lbs and then re-torque them again after 500 miles (which requires taking the wheels off).

 

Thanks Ghozt... I forgot you had used them in the past LOL It's only for the rears anyways...So after I re-torque 500 miles, that's it??? I'm good to go or re-torquing once more?

 

you can check them again if you want to be safe but they should be fine after that. i needed a 4 wheel alignment after putting my spacers on though fyi

 

no problem here have the same kind ghozt has


makes a HUGE improvment on looks to stick wheels out where they should be


did same thing torque then retourqe only one was slightly loose when checked

 

Ok thanks for the info Ghozt and Dieseldan.... I hope this was useful to people who are curious also LOL

 

does adding spacers do anything like making the tires wear quicker or anything like that?

 

As long as your toe and camber are still within spec, nope

 

thanks I'm still basically new to mod scene appreciate the help

 

I don't know but all I know that it makes the Stance of your car wider if you want to keep your factory 18's or 19's....

 

Not a problem! You can figure that most mods like lowering springs, coilovers, new wheels with custom offset, wheel spacers or longer endlinks are going to throw off the factory suspension geometry and will require a 4-wheel alignment.

Speaking of which, I still need to get my 4-wheel alignment done this week

 

Yeah I dont plan on doing anything with my suspension bc up here in PA the roads suck period. I was just thinking of doing my stock wheels making them sit flush
