Check out B2D they are vendors on here. They make good quality spacers. Been running on mine for 3 years now. 0 issues.

Which spacers did you end up using? I'm going to keep the suspension stock but wanted to make sure there wasn't any rubbing issues.

Are you a tech at Rockville? That's where I take it in for service.

How safe are spacers if you are always getting on it?

I went with h&r. Only safe one I know. Had the same ones on my ISF. No rubbing at all. I used to but now I work for metro. Wanted to try the diesel thing for a bit but I'm still there a lot giving advice on f-cars.

Cool. Thanks for the tip. Seems like the H&R have less vibration issues than Ichiba. It does look a cleaner with the 20mm on.

So has anybody swapped out the wheel studs for the ext studs on there GSF if so how hard is it? Is it something that needs pressed in with the hub on the car or does it need to removed?

What is your goal with spacers? Change the look or improve mechanical performance?

Any rubbing at all with the 20mm H&R all around? Do you have a part number for the H&R that you used? Thanks!
