Where to buy Project Kics and Eibach Spacers?

I am looking for 15mm and 20mm hub-centric spacers with build in studs. Does anyone know where I can buy them? Thanks.

Pic of the test fit.

None of the retailers, including aj usa, sell G35 Eibach spacers, but everyone sells 350Z spacers. Why? Is there a difference?

$130 is a little steep.

There is no difference, and $130 is about the cheapest you are going to get. The project Kics spacers are actually a little more expensive

I just ordered a set from thenismoshop.com. Takes about a week to get them from Eibach.

Tell me about it. I cannot seem to justify spending $65 for a metal cylinder. The premium seems to be too high. What do they make $30 pure profit on one spacer, $60 on a pair?

I just got a set of Kics and I agree these things are expensive. Not sure why. Markup is way too high. eBay does have some that are $48 a set and they look ok but not sure on the quality....

supposedly built in spacers are much more dangerous that the spacers that replace the studs. Heard it takes 10 mins to remove studs on out car, just remove the rotor and tap em. Why not just get cheaper longer stud spacers and DIY.

I would go this route, but I was quoted $500 to have them swaped out. I don't trust myself to do a DYI in swaping out studs or messing with the brakes.

See if you can buy some metal & make a pair of spacers out of the raw metal for $130... good luck buddy.

Posts like this are hilarious... why do you care how much someone makes on the Spacers? You can't make a solution for less than $130, so thats what you're paying... bottom line.

How much do you think it costs for Rays to make a set of rims? $500 a wheel? Hardly...

Do you guys really not understand what goes into manufacturing a product?

There are Research & Development Costs, Material Costs, Labor Costs, EQUIPMENT/MACHINERY COSTS, Office Overhead costs, manufacturing overhead costs, sales costs, business taxes etc... if you can't justify $130 for spacers, don't than don't buy them.

Reverse engineering to obtain value is how some people make purchases.
