Default Which brand of Spacer should I get?

HI guys,

I have looked into getting a plenumn spacer for my 2004 car. I don't want to get a different strut brace so as far as i can work out I need a 5/16th one right?

Also I live in Sydney and it isn't that cold here really. Sometimes very rarely it may get down to 1-10 degrees Celcius (not sure what the is in F) so do I need to spend the extra on the Iso spacer?

Which brand is better? I need one with clear instructions that are 100% complete.

Motordyne? Powerlab? There are some others too. Which should I get?

Sorry about all the questions and I have searched but there doesn't sem to be an obvious choice anywhere.

Thanks.

I would review the Sport-Z magazine Plenum vs Plenum Spacer Shoot-Out before buying. But that's just me.

Motordyne is a good product. We have been getting a lot of great feedback on the Powerlab 3/8" Plenum Spacer, and can barely keep them on the shelf.

Powerlab 3/8" Spacer

Give us a call if you are interested. Ask for Pete or Darren. I'm sure you will be happy with whichever product you choose. Good Luck!

Happy 4th Everyone!
