Message	the bench. Even with the power I have, and the grip of the tires I'm using, I have no need for them at the moment. The spacers, in actuality, are just an alternative to replacing a worn set of subframe bushings. I put them on my last Z which had 180K+ miles on it and they definately helped, but replacing the bushings would have been just as good - minus the additional labor.
