For you guys running spacers...question

m4a1mustang

If they were smart they'd realize why the RPM restriction is there for the V6. Need to beef up the driveshaft if you're going to pull the limiter.

Now the GT, Boss, and GT500 have no problem running at speed Hell, the 2013 GT500 will go 203 mph!

OP I have the 15mm spacers all around with no issues at all. I went with the H&R DRS for safety reasons.

Watching that vid makes me think of the Farmers ad below, where you expect something bad to happen, then it gets delayed and you think it won't happen and then it happens. Vroom.....KLUNK....

I've hit 170 in my 370.... no problem. And, I'm a V6 :-P

Must have taken you forever to get there.

Anyways, this is about spacers folks! Spacers!!!

What? I hit that.... *with 20mm spacers* and faster than a gt mustang without breaking a drive shaft like a v6. LoL

m4a1mustang

And? What does the Mustang (V6 no less) even have to do with spacers on a Z?

>_<

okay, I'm sorry. It was my last one... for the record though. I kept on topic stating that high speeds are attainable, even with spacers. LoL

m4a1mustang

Sorry, sometimes its hard to gauge the sarcasm via text. No doubt the spacers can hold at speed, but I still think my concern about the additional points of failure is valid. Just something to keep in mind and like I said regardless of bolt on or stud replacement you should regularly inspect the condition of your spacers.

Agreed to the point that any car pushed to its limits need to be inspected. Tires, suspension. Ect. My slavers were hubcentric and bolted down with thread locker... I'm confident enough to drive with my daughter. I can appreciate you value to attention, but if done right... no worries

vividracing

I always recommend H&R spacers above other brands simply because I've seen other brands have issues from machining errors. Whatever spacers you buy, just make sure they've got hubcentric rings and are from a reputable company. If you follow those rules, you'll be problem free. Use bolt-ons for the front unless you're going more than 20mm or you want to shorten your studs.

Does H&R make a 7mm DRS spacer for the Z?

regarding spacers ive done both stud replacement type and bolt-on types over the years. never had an issue with either type. been only using bolt-ons these days since it's so much more convenient.

ive tried kics, eibach, h&r, and even ichiba's. they have been all good.

Any rubbing with the 20mm up front?

darionlear

Yeah, turning radius is affected... You will rub, its to be expected since you're taking away 20mm from the turn
