Functional?...huh...Maybe you could justify it to yourself as widening your wheelbase? lol It'll give you that extra 20mm of stance that will let really make a differnce in those off ramps. Oh i know, i have spacers. 
But really a decent used set can be had cheap in the private classified section, and it really makes a differnce cosmetically. We all know that we do love cars that perform, hence we always love a good performance mod; but since we all own G's, we like cars that look good too.

Find me some proof that 20 mm is going to make a difference!
Nope, my fronts didn't seem to raise. The only way I could see them sitting higher is if the lower spring perch was installed upside down.

Notice the different orientation of the lower perch.

You can assemble the lower perch upside down and raise the ride height. Like this guy:

Maybe it's just me, but I could not get my spacers off fast enough. I had them on for a week while waiting for my properly offset rims. They give me a very insecure feeling as if the wheel would separate at any moment. I went very gingerly while I had them.
I feel so much better now my rims are on and spacers are off.

Spacers
Going on 2 years on my spacers...no issues.
Had them checked & re-torqued when I had my new rims put on...they were not coming off unless they were pried off!
I don't have any hesitation/concern since riding on stock wheels & 20mm spacers on my 2 previous FX35's for a total of 9 years...never had any issues then either.

I am as well. I'm going to be switching to coilovers this spring. I'm actually just going to leave the springs in the rear and put 8k swifts on fortune auto 500's up front, I mainly want them as a strut replacement so the ride is more compliant, the ride height with swifts is perfect so won't be going any lower.
