Default J's racing driveshaft spacers

Hey -

I've dropped my S2000 a fair bit on Teins - I've read that you should use driveshaft spacers - how important are these??

If your not having any vibration in the rear end that you didnt have b4 then you need not worrie about them,

I use the t1r's as a precaution but if your not vibrating, then dont worrie man.

Your car looks great on the te's although I have to ask what size tires your running as that front one looks kinda like a ballon?

It could also just be the brand of tire you choose to go with.

ah, thats why, you shoudl swa tires so they match

Na man, I mean if your driving and all feels tha same then dont rerally worrie about it.

For me it was a extra what 130$ at my cost for a set of t1r's so if they help or not, its kjust a extra useless mod.

I mean I can say a pro to them is thaht they will 100% help your rear axel last longer but on the con, so what, 100,000km's on a axel is good either way

welcome man

I got vibrations around 80mph with 15-35% throttle, using a J's 4,77.
Lowered about 2,1", do I need them ?

Well they wont hurt, but if your ONLY getting vibrations then, I assure you near 100%, its not your issue. But if you own a s2000, can afford to mod it, anyone shoudl be able to affors 150 max for a set of spacers.
