So after doing some searching and reading about axle spacers, I think I would like to have a set on hand when I install my suspension in case I get any vibration. My S is a 2001 with 46K miles.

Now, I've noticed that T1R spacers seem to have had some issues with hardware loosening due to the supplied hardware being the incorrect size.

The single piece J's Racing looks of excellent quality with the supplied hardware but how much of a pain in the *** is it to install single piece spacers?

EVS half shaft spacers from Evasive look good too with the hardware being grade 10.9. Has anyone used EVS spacers? Any issues? http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...w=&range_high=

I'm leaning towards the EVS spacers and possibly using Loctite and replacing the nuts with matching grade 10.9 nylock nuts or would it be just as easy to buy a set of Megan Racing half shaft spacers and replace all the hardware with overkill grade 12.9?

I just ordered Megan Racing 2 piece spacers of ebay $104 shipped they get here tomorrow and ill do the instal then because i have the shakes right now after putting wider tires and my car is lowered on KONI yellows and tein Htechs. Ive also read that swaping the boots also works, but i rather have the spiders sit in the proper place. I think the reason why the bolts came loose on the T1R is because they need lock washers bought separately (maybe the hardware was the wrong size) , thats what i'll be doing along with some bolt tightening adhesive to prevent from becoming loose.

as long as you can easily loosen the bolts on the boots its a pice of cake. search for a diy

Do this instead. No need to waste money.

As cost effective as it is swapping CV buckets from side to side I read that may no cure the issue and it's an all day project. If I was going that far I think I'd buy new buckets from Honda.

I think I'm going to try the EVS spacers, just to have on hand in case I do have vibration. I'll see what the hardware looks like and upgrade or replace it if need be.

Both of these statements are wrong! Swapping the cv buckets will fix the shakes associated with pitted cv buckets. Seondly, it is not an all day thing. Its more like a few hours for your first time and could be done in 2 if you know what you are doing.
Just swap cv buckets for free!

Did the Megan racing spacers instal yesterday, pretty easy if you have a air gun with impact sockets. It was a little annoying since I only had the car jacked up, probably a 30 min instal if it was on a lift. Quality I thought was great fit right in, hardware also looked good. Torqued each bolt at 61lbs. Good luck.
