Default RCA / spacers for lowering AWD - update

Hey guys,

Looking to see if anyone has any updates on the possible wobble / vibration solution for the AWD cars.
Any of the posts on this forum regarding this is a few years old and / or for the GS not 2is.
I have my coils ready, but I'd like to see if its worth while picking up a set of RCA blocks or axle spacers to mitigate the risk of wobble / vibration.

This of course would be in the effort to protect my CV components!

I'm sticking to the 24.5" fender-to-ground safe zone for the drop most likely.

Looking for current setup successes/ updates on these methods.

Thanks.

I have run both SAGE blocks with lowering springs, and SAGE with BC coilovers I'm at 24.75" from the ground the magic number for me is anything under 25" vibrates. If i go about that I'm good. But currently running at 24.75" with the BC's tho and the Blocks which keeps the front a little straighter on the drive axles.

There really easy to install. You can do it before or after but they drop it so it will save you some work to do it when u adjust the coilovers after install.
