Default GB Drive shaft spacers

Why do you need drive shaft spacers ?

The original drive shafts of the S2000 are designed at the stock ride height so when the car is lowered with coil springs or coil-over suspension then the drive shafts will be stretched about 10mm each side. This will incur a lot of stress to the drive shaft. As a result, the drive shaft will wear down over a period of time.

J's Racing and the likes make these kits for around $200, but S2KUK is able to source a high quality kit for around

Do they not do the split ones?

Just saying, split ones will take you a LOT less time to fit.

I have been informed that these will take about an hour to fit if you have access to a lift/ramps.

Just letting you know that the shaft will have to come out.

That means dissassembling the rear hub.

ok, not complex, but time consuming.

That and not many people have a lift/ramp.

I would say, cut them in half, but I know to many peole would get freaked out by that idea....

Is it true they're only needed on earlier cars?
