Installing 20mm spacers this weekend, any pointers?
As the title states, I'll be putting 20mm spacers all the way around. Stock 18" wheels with a moderate drop on Tanabe NF210 springs. Any tips or suggestions when I go to install these?

Most everything I've seen about bad spacers has to do with a poor install more so than the quality of the product. Hence the reason I was looking for any pointers from those around here that have had success with spacers. Thanks for the input though!

Either way, GL! My final input would be to torque them accordingly like you would your wheels, across from each bolt back and forth until fully tightened.... I wouldn't know how much TQ to use though for wheel spacers.

I've had my GS on a closed course up to 120 with ISF wheels mounted with Adaptec Speedware bolt-on spacers. Rock solid at speed... Rock solid through the winter... Rock solid.
I have about 10k miles on them... no problems. Highly recommended.
*I've had H&R adapters on my GTI and they were just as good.

If you want to know how 20mm Ichiba V2's with Springs will look, here are a few pictures. Springs on my car were Eibachs! Good drop and very comfortable. And yes, it rubs in the front and rear!

My car did 35-40 dyno runs with Ichiba 25mm spacers, on my Supra so I wouldn't say they are unsafe at all.
With the Ichiba ones, you torque them down. I didn't even use loctite, but you could probably use BLUE loctite if you wanted and then recheck the torque on the adapter bolts after 50-100miles.
This is just my opinion.
