Which Spacer is the "best" Spacer ? I noticed that it's a toss-up between the
Eibachs and Project Kics but is anyone using the Ichiba Spacers ?

If by, "spacer", you are referring to wheel spacers, I would not recommend them at all. Wheel spacers put uneven stress/pressure on the wheel bearings and can cause the bearing to fail, as well as the wheel stud itself. Wheel bearings these days are very expensive. Wheel spacers can also reduce handling. Wheel spacers are a band aid solution to an incorrect wheel being installed on the vehicle and can be very dangerous. For this reason, at my auto center we don't install wheel spacers under any circumstances as the liability risk is too great.I hope this has been of help. Good luck with it.

I can only agree with what you have stated but it seems as though there are many members, on this and other boards, that have and will continue to add Wheel Spacers to their vehicles. Looks are one thing, safety is another ! I am also one that is going for the "look" but not at the expense of safety. I wish that those who've had "incidents" with their Spacers would come forward to "verify" this point.
Thanks for the excellent info.
