Default Half Shaft Spacers - anyone using them?

I've just lowered my car and am using the J's half shaft spacers.
Just wondering who else is using them and how have the been working for you?
any problems with them or wored out half shafts due to lowering?

They're used to push the rear wheels out more right? (instead of going with hub spacers)

I think you only need them when the ride is slammed (at least thats what I have been told). I have a set, but have not installed them yet. I dont think they will help me much though since my car is only lowered 1 inch.

Yeah, my car is only lowered 1 inch on Eibachs for now. Just have a non-correctable rear camber issue that would require adjustable camber links if I want to fix it. $$$

The J's driveshafts spacers are used for lowered S2000. The angle of the driveshafts will change after you lower your car so the spacers are to keep the inner shafts in space to eliminate wear.

If you want to put it back to zero by using factory adjustment, I think maybe impossible.

It looks like the spacers would be cheaper to perform than going with an adjustable camber kit on the rears. I'd still be getting the same effect ultimately I figure.
