If you get the ones with extended studs, the built in stud ones, its literally bolts on.

Don't forget to remove the bolts in the front, or else your spacers won't fit.

Well if you had done research you would have found out that, you should be fine if you don't buy cheap spacers and go with reliable/reputable ones like Ichiba or something.

^ What he said haha. Im sure dd'ing and stuff would be fine, but tracking and putting great stress on it.. probably wouldnt be the best idea.

There is a great DIY that I used to put on my spacers a few weeks ago. You have to get the Ichiba V2 spacers. I went with 25mm all the way around and love it. It is very, very easy. Just take your time and FFS............ make sure your lug nuts are tight after a few days... some of mine were very loose after a week... I have checked them a few times after that and they are nice and tight.. I guess there is a break in period or something.

I basicly rip every corner I can, are these spacers going to change the way the car performs in the corners?

There's a few guys here who have tracked their cars with spacers and had no problems. What size spacers you looking at?
