Mid-October... B2AutoDesigns has a small sale until end-of-month on spacers. I've decided to buy a set of 15mm, single-piece, hub-centric spacers for my duckfeet over the winter. Not much of a "mod", but after lowering the car and being flush with Vossens, that silly tuck with the OEM rims is going to drive me nuts... snow tires notwithstanding.
Are you going with 15 mm all around? For $200 this is tempting.
Anyone else lowered on duckfeet, what size spacers are you running? My rears sit pretty flush, but my fronts are definitely sunk in a little.
Yeah, 15's. 20's seem too aggressive, but that's just an educated guess. I'm going for a normal-ish look. It's just for Winter.
Speaking of winter, one of my plans is to research and buy some end-links for a Spring install to replace the OEM links. Any recs?
I'm still torn on the form>function of spacers, but they would undoubtedly make the car look better. And $200 is kinda in the "oh well I'll give this a try" price range.
I used Whiteline end links on my Subaru. They were pretty beefy. I suppose this is something I should consider as well, as lowering generally creates more stress on the end links.
I'll probably upgrade my end links when I buy my sways and have them installed, but I'm still confused as to the point of adjustable end links, can anyone shed some light on this?

It's explained in the link to the370Z.com that I provided.
Also, TonyHTX should have some feedback soon as it looks like he scored a set

My understanding is that when lowered the OEM links are under stress in a way that they weren't when the car was an inch higher. The aftermarket links allow you to extend the connection points to relieve that stress. How do you determine what the right extension is? IDK. That's why I go to a trusted mechanic for this chit.
