[greek_rambos2k]

Helloooo

i have lowered my s2k and now in need of spacers. Can anyone link me to a good set?

thanksss

[trism]

What size?

Just buy them off eBay.

[greek_rambos2k]

i dunno what size, just after reading many threads that if you lower your s2k you need to put spacers in?

[trism]

Drive shaft spacers, not wheel spacers, is what I think that you're thinking of.

2 piece spacers, the Megan ones should work fine and are pretty cheap. eBay.

The main issue with buying cheap spacers is you get cheap bolts that can be undone/break by street driving. The only way to prevent it when buying the cheap Megan or even eXedium ones, is to buy different set of higher tensile bolts or use some loctite when you tighten the nuts/bolts.

LOL. If you do them to whatever torque specs they where engineered with. There not going anywhere.

Ok. But I'm sure these guys or some of would of torqued it 'correctly' too. Better safe then sorry. (This was just a quick search too, theres a lot more cases)

The reason I didn't recommend T1R spacers was because they are known to have been sold with bolts that weren't the right size and would vibrate loose with time. I vaguely remember reading that their newer kits have appropriate sized bolts, but I could be wrong.

No such issues with Megan from what I've seen - they come with the right sized bolts and should be fine so long as they're torqued to spec.

so i can get some good/cheap spacers and then just go to a bolt shop n buy better bolts? i assume 2 piece is better as then i dont need to pull the shafts out to instal 1 piece?

I bought the T1Rs with the old fasteners. Turns out they are US sized 3/8" (9.5mm) nuts and bolts in 10mm holes. I got to measure them when I found nuts on my driveway after a couple of runs.

Replaced with the right 10mm hi-spec stuff and Nordlock washers and no problem.

No probs! I Think I might need to buy myself a set soon too.

I can imagine wheel spacers are no fun when you buy cheap ones and they let go but we're talking axle spacers. I've never heard of them 'letting go' and I'm sure if they did it would be uneventful. As mentioned, the bolts on my T1Rs came loose and some dropped off, but it was still drivable.

[greek_rambos2k]

random question... are megan racing as a company any good (in general) i hear mixed things about them. some say its cheap shit whilst other say they are good. helpz?

[ludecrs]

Taiwanese shit - but then again what JDM parts aren't these days?

[zhong]

^^^ I agree!

But I bought the cheapest set on eBay (~$60 delivered) installed on my S2k and it was never a problem. As long as they were the correct materials they say it was - billet aluminum, and not the nasty stuff that is mushy inside when cut in half like them cheap tools at super cheap! But yeh, no biggy if one of the bolts break - there are 5 others to hold it in. Check em every now and then and you'll be fine. :D

Peace.
