For those who still experience this problem...

I have Ichiba "v2" 20mm all around. From day 1 I've been having vibration issues when going 60mph+. Slight vibration from braking.

Re installed all 4 spacers with power tools and properly aligned/balanced in shop, no driving vibration this time but more noticeable vibration occurs when braking.

It seems like the problem alternates after each install, you either get driving vibration, or braking vibration.

Then I removed only front spacers just for testing, no vibration at all speeds, neither when braking.

I think I'll try another brand with zero reported vibration issues... this problem is driving me mad but I cannot drive my Z without them, it looks weird because I have a front lip.

Check your power steering liquid just in case.
