Agreed.. changing things now so it will be more evident.

marcussoori,

We're putting together a call tag for the DRM spacers, and will get you out the DRS version. Our salesperson will be in touch shortly with that information.

So while everyone is on the subject of spacers and I have your attention..

1) Why not do DRS on front and rear?
2) Do 20mm/f and 25mm/r + Eibach Pro springs + 19' Sports Package Rays Wheels cause rubbing or clearance issues? What about camber problems?
3) Is there a technical reason why most people choose 15mm/f and 20mm/r ?

marcussoori 05-21-2010 08:22 AM

Ok, guys, exchanging the 15mm DRM for the 15mm DRS for the fronts. Stillen is paying for return shipping, thanks Josh et. al. Sorry to upset you, RCZ...my intent was not to blame anyone, just ask for forum advice on what to do. So, someone mentioned I'd need a camber kit with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers on a stock car? I have no desire to lower the car, so do I still need the camber kit? Thanks for your help, guys...

No, you don't need a camber kit for stock height. Even when lowered by 1 inch or less, you may not need a camber kit unless there is a problem with adjusting the alignment back to factory spec.

I am very happy with my stock suspension and 15mm front and 20mm rear DRS spacers...:tup:

i take exception to the second part of that statement, the eibach springs (which apparently are conservative drops) knocked my rear wheels well out of alignment when i had a 20mm spacer stuck on them. if you lower the car, get the camber kit.

Agreed. Also, I would definitely suggest lowering the car if you get spacers.

You noticed, in my statement I said "1 inch or less" and "may need", not "don't need". I've read differing reports on this forum, but I agree with what you said; most people needed the rear camber kit when lowered.

And it does work on the 370Z. Just not with those wheels. The man ordered the wrong part, you can't blame Stillen for that. People don't like admitting fault these days do they?

Oh don't worry you didn't upset me :rolleyes:. I don't care if its Stillen or not, I would've said the same thing about anyone because its a little unfair to the company. Probably a good thing because now the mistake won't be made again.

You don't need a camber kit with spacers...

Actually you can blame stillen because it doesn't say the spacer doesn't work with the front sport wheels. And stillen did the right thing by changing the info on their site.

CBRich 05-21-2010 06:41 PM

They did help the consumer by doing that but by no means does a company have to list every caveat for every vehicle. It's impractical. I'm glad Stillen stepped up to the plate but honestly you need to do your research before you hit the order button.
