Honestly, like I said, you should remove one variable of the equation to see if that is the root of your issue. You may even be able to tell at that point if the lugs were properly seated on the spacer itself and whatnot.

I had H&R 20mm spacers on my old rsx. Replacing the studs was a pain in the ***.

So for the Z I went Ichiba 25mm both front and rear (stock suspension).

Glad to hear you learned your lesson with ebay products. Youre lucky you didnt end up with permanent damage.

Got pics!?

Are these V2 style H&R spacers or slip on spacers with extended studs?

If they aren't the latter, maybe try replacing them with slip on style spacers with extended studs.

Lowered an inch and a half on gf210 springs. Stock tire sizes.
Def try an alignment and have them check your wheel weights

I will be picking up Ichiba V2 spacers today for free, anyone have any advice for a spacer noob on revised Z springs, 17" OEM's & a busted CV boot? Can't get the axle shaft replaced for a couple weeks! Luckily it's not clicking.

Picking up from a friend, he says to buy 6 nuts, some of them are mildly stripped and have to buy 1 nut.
Came off his 09 GTR. They're 15/20mm

Hey guys I took off all the spacers this time and reinstalled them and my car is cured.. I think it was one of the spacers in the back that wasn't installed properly so now it rides how it's supposed to.. I also got an alignment so maybe that helped a little.. . Thanks for all the advice
