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.
