Default Eibach, Project Kics or Ichiba Spacers

Which Spacer is the "best" Spacer ? I noticed that it's a toss-up between the
Eibachs and Project Kics but is anyone using the Ichiba Spacers ?

the are all good. The advantages of the project kics are that there are studs already on the spacer itself for easy installation. For the Ichiba, you have to knock out the old studs and put in the new longer ones.

Would the "set-up" be "safer" with the longer studs?? Seems to me that it would...

in a sense, yes. I believe there was a member on here who actually broke a stud off one of his spacers. Putting new studs in is pretty easy if you have worked with cars before.

Just seems "safer" with less parts (Ichiba- No Hubcentric Ring and Studs in the Spacer). ...but then again, longer Studs !

That's right. I wanted to use a certain vendor here, thinking it might be cheaper. But they said they were back ordered for awhile. Called Ichiba and they sent them right out. The price isn't bad anyways.

Excellent Info. !!
...but I'm wondering why they are so much "cheaper" than all of the others ??
Is the Quality and Strength so much better ??

I had H&R spacers and had zero problems. I would easily buy them again and never give a second thought to any other brand.

I have both H&R and Ichiba spacers and they're both high quality. No issues at all and I use them for auto-x.
