Hello Guys, I was wondering when or how low your car has to be for you to need the drive shaft spacer and a half drive shaft spacer. Thank you for your help in advance.

Define need. Myself, along with tons of other users, are running pretty low without any spacers. When something breaks, I'll post here again and say my ride height.

Neither are "required" for either the ap1 or ap2. The issue is the same for both cars and is dependent on milage when the car is lowered. Some cars (ap1 or ap2) when lowered after 30-50k miles can experience vibration on acceleration. The fix can either be to install half-shaft spacers OR to swap the inner CV buckets from driver's to passenger's side & vis versa. Spacers cost money, swapping CV buckets is free but takes time. Two-piece spacers can save time...single piece spacers are useless as they take nearly as much time to install as it takes to swap CV buckets.
