Sooooo H&R spacers, anyone messed with them?

I think the ones with the stud replacements would make me feel more at ease.

I agree and the first one took me about 45 minutes to do but after that I had the details down and did the rest in 20 minutes each. I didn't like the idea of lug nuts hidden behind the wheel where they can't be checked easily. I've checked the torque on mine several times after install and it hasn't changed. Just my .02.

I think the spacers' material is comparable across the H&R and ICHIBA brands, but not the type of spacers.

The DRS H&R are safer, and the same type is also offered by ICHIBA, but they're not as prevelent for some reason.

From what I've gathered from other people, I would install DRS spacers (with replacement studs) in the front, and DRM (studs built into spacers) in the rear.
