quick question guys. so all you have to do to install these spacers is simply take the 6 bolts out pull the axle away from the diff slide in and bolt down with new bolts? and if this is true please answer this?
what size are the bolts hex size? and for the mm side?
and the torque specs? please and thanks you

You may find it easier to undo the LCA's joint to the hub.. You get more play to, well play with..
14mm Nuts (stock) from memory, unsure of torque specs but I'd say pretty damn tight.. The nuts/bolts supplied with the spacers may differ, I got 17mm nuts with allen bolts.
Peace.

my car has about 85,000 miles. Its always been lowered and the past 2k miles the rear end started vibrating like crazy under hard acceleration. I bought the megan axel spacers and it fixed the problem 100%.
my brother just bought a s2000 with 130k+ miles and its on stock suspension and has the same vibration. Will swaping the axel boost fix it??

Back from the dead with a few questions...
So by JUST adding spacers it will fix the vibration for how long? would the new spot wear down again faster, since the cv buckets Still need grease? <<do they?
would just swapping the buckets be a better (longer) fix (because you are getting new grease in there)?
does the thickness of the spacer matter?
GTMotoring spacers ($135) are 7.5mm thick
j's racing spacers ($250) are 10mm thick ( i think)
T1R spacers ($169) are ?mm thick
Megan Racing spacers ($89) are?mm thick
why are they different? does it matter?
also how bad are the Megan racing bolts? cause if you changed them for other ones cost of the spacers would be the same as GTmotoring ones... how worth it is it
