Did the front wheel ever take an impact that would cause it to weaken and eventually break? Is tracking the car gonna gonna play a role in the failure? Josh@Stilen comes thru again! It's not often a vendor steps up to plate to take care of a member when the mfg will not. g\l on finding the root cause. Does aluminum match up well with steel?
From what Stillen said, it didn't sound like H&R was interested in inspecting the spacers at all, but I'll contact them directly to see what they say. I'm not expecting much though.

Nope, no impacts or anything like that. I think it happened before the car even hit the track.
