Default Not to beat a dead horse but....

so anyway i have another question about lowering using springs. i have narrowed it down to most likely skunk2, swift, or esplier (on stock struts). I baby this car, so there will be no track days, the springs are strictly cosmetic. My question is, do i need driveshaft spacers if i go with skunk2? nobody has been specific on how low is too low. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Spacers are recommended on AP1 - I would look into J's or Motorklasse. Honda did widen the AP2's OEM shafts. Many people have lowered it and had no problem - so it's just a recommendation if you're planning on going really low and need spacers - it's more preventive product then anything.

I don't think any spacers are needed when Skunk2 only drops 1". How low is too low depends on your ride preference.

you don't need spacers unless you are more than 1" drop.
