only use one spacer.

two will cause clearance issues.

have a die grinder or tin snips on hand, you will likely have to clearance the dust shield. I know I had to when I was running two. You just end up cutting a corner out of it.

I hit a skunk years ago in another car.... It didn't get stuck under the car but my god was that a horrible ordeal..
Had to jack the car up on one side as high as I possibly could so I could bathe the underside of the car with HD degreaser and power wash, repeating it 6 times to get most of the smell off the car... Took a few months of the smell to full deminish.

So just be happy whatever you hit WASN'T a skunk! haha

Who do you think was pushing Figs to get them made? I've been running a set for the past year almost.
They aren't Universal, but iirc these will work for the LS/GS/IS just fine. They are a bit of a pain to install over the single piece ones since if you aren't careful when centering the spindle over them you can knock one off, but that's solved with an extra pair of hands and some care.

I'll throw up a DIY in the near future about installing them, as you need to cut the dust shield since it has an indent right next to the ball joint.
