Couple threads about the bolt on ones failing.

I have the bolt on type from B2Designs, 15mm front and 20mm rear and I have no vibrations at all.

Top speed reached 280km/h, and again no problems at all

No problem. Glad to help. I just love the stock wheels, but just wanted the offset to look better. Car looks great lowered and with the spacers now. I may get wheels down the road too, but this definitely satisfies me for now.

How many miles did you have on your struts? Never heard of this happening and I haven't had any issues with stocks struts on any slightly lowered car.

My IS-F is lowered on Swift springs, and I've installed the H&R 15mm spacers with extended studs. I have Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in the upgraded 245/35R19 275/30R19 size. No rubbing or hitting anywhere what so ever. No rolling of rear guards needed.

For the benefit of others, here's a few pics.

Here's what mine looked like lowered with the Swift springs, but before 15mm spacers. Wheels sunken in a fair bit!






Here's after the 15mm spacers installed. Looks awesome to me! The difference is night and day! I wouldn't think 15mm would make so much difference to the look, but it has.

Spacers fit between your wheel and hub. They push the wheel out so your wheels are more flush to the car.

After doing the 15mm in the back and 20mm in the front I think its the perfect combo and it should allow me to run bigger tires with no rubbing at all. I will try and a get a couple pics sometime today.
