You haven't been here long enough to know what you are talking about.

You do not need the spacers, but they are something that will not hurt and in the long run may prove beneficial. When I lower my car I'll get them just for the peace of mind; do it once, do it right. Many people have been running dropped for years without problems though.

I used to have a little bit of vibration while accelerating. As soon as I dropped it, it got so much worse. Axle spacers are on order, and will be here hopefully before the weekend. Too bad I gotta rip apart the joints and swap sides.

I was on espelirs and worried about this, but then I got 17in rims and went with coilovers so the height is likely back to stock, would you guy sstill reccomend this product for peace of mind or does being up high again negate the need?

why not? they're not that expensive and very easy to install.

like what most people said, it can't hurt if you have it. I've had my car lowered for over 3 years and put close to 80k miles on the S without it and it is fine.

Aero3685 you should have your suspension checked. it sound like you have something loose in the suspension department. Check your alignment also because your rear end should not vibrate even when stock.

If you're stock height, you shouldn't install the spacers.

why wouldn't a 10mm spacer be fine for a stock ride height ap1?
