H&R made in Germany! Ichiba is made in China!!! I would never put anything on my car made in China.

I have DRM H&R 20MM all around smooth as butter!

Lolllllllll

That makes no difference most companies after patents run out sell their complete designs to Chinese manufacturers. Same thing at a much lower cost.

I'm using project kics and recommend them. The price is kinda steep but well worth it for a strong spacer.

Yeah I think I'm probably going to do DRM H&R 20mm spacers all the way around based upon the "look" I'm going for.

20mm all around makes it look great. Especially after you lower it.

GTLAW 11-26-2012 10:11 AM

Dude, over at the G forms, people have had lots of issues with Ichiba! I would not trust it!

Nothing like your wheel breaking off at 80Mph!

Personally I went with the stud replacement option. I bought mine from z1 and the studs were more stout than the oem studs. the drm route adds to many points for possible failure for my likings.

What look will you be going for?

What camber are you going to run? Im running -2.5 on both sides and I need bigger spacers IMO. If youre going to be cambered a bit more youll want 20/25mm front 25/30mmrear.

ill post pics in a minute. Im running 20/25.

I know people who ran H&R DRM for years and year with tons of miles no issues.

I would not want to run aftermarket studs, I be to afraid they break off.

The H&R DRM the studs coming off the spacer are very well done!

exactly, the oem studs are of much higher quality.

I have bolt on spacers all around and no issues.

drm is using aftermarket studs....the stock studs are used to bolt down the spacer that has the aftermarket studs built into it. You're still bolting the wheel down onto an aftermarket stud. You've effectively doubled the number of points for a moment which means more possible points of failure.

DRSŪ Series
DRS Series spacers fit between the wheel and hub, and require exchanging the existing wheel studs for longer ones (studs are included).

DRMŪ Series
DRM Series spacers bolt to the hub with existing wheel studs and special nuts (included). Wheel is bolted to new DRM wheel studs.

I don't think I'm going to do the camber thing. I'm just going to push the wheelbase out a bit for that sleek/flush look.

dmhenderson 11-26-2012 01:25 PM

(I don't understand the camber thing and think it looks silly. I'm sure it has a function but it's probably not something I would ever take advantage of and I'm sure it's hell on your tires)

370z's must be lowered, even if its just springs. Dont argue just do it.

Unless you lower your vehicle and get aftermarket camber arms you cant really modify the camber that much (if at all, somebody correct me if im wrong). The camber arms are mainly for lowered cars who end up with extreme negative camber and need to get it straightened up a bit.
