Eibach vs Ichiba USA spacers

I did some searching, and im leaning towards using 15mm and 20mm spacers, unless someone can give me more info why i should run something different.So far i was leaning towards Eibach kit, but then i saw ICHIBA USA. I never heard of them, anyone know if they have a solid product?

The main difference seems to be that eibach has build in bolts so the studs dont need to be replaced. Which kit is considered safer?

Im just looking to get a nice, flush look with oem 19s, i dont want any rubbing issues. And of course safety is important to me.

Eibach sells both types of spacers, the bolton type with preinstalled studs, and the spacers with longer replacement studs, so that isn't a factor. It really comes down to price and type you plan on using. Both are safe to use, and the right application depends on how long you plan on keeping the oem 19's. If you are sure you'll never go aftermarket, then get the ones with longer studs as they can never get loose unlike the bolton type. But, if you ever plan on upgrading, the bolt on type are much easier to install and remove

Im gonna stick with oem 19's, i just traded my 20's for em. Im guessing that less bolts meants less chance of any type of failure...so i guess i will go with Ichiba kit with replacable bolts.

Anyone know how much shops usually charge to install these? I just want a rough estimate so i dont get ripped.

Like redlude said, Eibach makes that style also. I think H&R does too.
