and still same result.

Except it isnt the same result since you accounted for the imbalance the spacer causes

the spacer if installed properly, should not cause any imbalance to begin with.

Or is this because I just need an alingment??? Your input is certainly appreciated. Thanks

For what it's worth ... I did 15mm front and 20mm rear with stud replacement on stock Sport Rays and not even a slight shake at 135 mph. I swear by Eibach Pro Spacers with Hub Centric as they are very high quality, very expensive but high quality. I recently purchased new wheels and had to go with bolt on Eibach Pro Spacers 30mm in the rear and still not even a slight shake.

Don't cut corners!! Replacing the stock wheel studs took me approximately 2 hrs for all four wheels. Another good point made on this thread is to be sure you torque the nuts in the crisscross pattern and be sure to drive a few days then torque once again.
