if lowering no more then 1.5" do you need the drive shaft spacers..did search but no specifics found
Just want to lower my '02 no more then 1.5" and that's at the most. How low can you go with out having to use the driveshaft spacers? I searched and all i can figure out is that if you lower past a "certain point", you need them because it causes accelerated wear etc... I don't drag race but do track day it and dd it.

it cant hurt.....on 00-03.....
iirc 04 and up have extended axles already so depending on how low you go you may or may not need them.....
i am lowered 1.5 and have not heard or seen anything excessive at this time..... just keep an eye on it.....

That's what you think. Anything over 2 inches is highly recomended to have them. Otherwise you'll start replacing parts sooner then later.

Replaced the inner joints long ago, it was vibrating at stock height and 30,000 miles kinda weird....

Never really know til you take them apart and check them out. S2SLOW doesn't drive his car much... yet.
