I have 20/25 bolt on from b2autodesigns. $220 for front and rear. I have a base with sport package and its perfect. Just use a 1/2" drive and you'll be fine. I would have done stud replacement, but i plan on changing the rims and getting the right offsets

Did you use and Anti-Seize on the threads or the spacer itself?

I haven't put any on yet, but I'm wondering if I should if it will protect it from corrosion. I don't plan on really adjusting or removing them in the future, I just want to make sure that they stay intact.

Fuct right.. It's really easy to do. If u have an air gun setup only takes a few hrs for both front and rears.

Finally installed the H&R 20 mm front and 25 mm rear bolt-on spacers. Quality is so much better than the Ichiba V2s I ran on my 350Z. Installation was a breeze with zero issues. Now, if only the Swift springs would get here a little faster. Here some before and after pics:

No problems whatsoever. As long as they're installed properly there won't be any issues.

^^Beautiful!! Any particular reason you went with the stud replacement up front rather than keeping it bolt-on spacers all around??

^ Thanks, at the time back in 2009 - H&R did not manufacture 20mm bolt on spacers for our cars. You guys now picking up 20mm's are lucky !
