Message	To add one detail, in regards to presence/abscence of wheelhop: suspension in my car is Eibachs over Tokico's. Stock 16" wheels with ES100's for "tars". In response to the folks that think perhaps something else is afoot: It's possible that the subframe bushings themselves are in worse-than-average shape, which was my only concern when I installed the spacers. Other than that, everything was torqued to spec etc, and I'm a pretty far cry from a n00b. As with all mods, YMMV - this is just my data point to contribute. -Jake My Radical (SCCA DSR) | My 300ZX TT | jakelatham.com
