Will be doing some occasional tracking so hope it handles the way they claim.

bdub561: They're both DRS right? I'm hesitant on the whole spacer situation...

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.
