I am not a Financial major, I said I was an Industrial Systems and Financial major, we optimize things, anything from industrial assembly lines to financial data for companies- look it up on google, ISE (industrial systems engineering). I was an Mechanical Aerospace major, but I switched cuz doing advance integrals all day bores me.
We are the bridge between engineering and consumers, I have taken courses from almost every single major of engineering. Right now I am leading a project where we are making a system where the car will read road signs and react for the driver accordingly, something that requires an understanding of many fields of engineering, including mechanical.
Since you're so good at it, please quote my first response to this thread and see what I said. I gave my personal experience, which is more than what you can ever offer to this thread other than your non sense. Next time you try to quote someone and use their point, at least know what they are talking about.
Again read my other response, I have put almost 20k+ miles on spacers find someone else who has as much experience with them driving on them day to day. And where are your facts? Not from the same place you take craps I hope, and before you say they are lobu, I beg you to first know what he is saying first before you worship it like its your religion

And you have so much credibility? Riighttttt.
Quoting people in text blocks makes you knowledgeable in spacers? You make me laugh lol.
And so I have no credibility now? Oh no, I am just like you now, I guess I can make retarded post without having to worry about my reputations anymore lol
Oh yeah, way to skip my quiz I gave you
Why are you always bashing people for skipping the info you bring up and completely skip mine? Why are you such a hypocrite? Oh thats right, you have no credibility, just like me, therefore I shouldn't expect anything useful from you huh?

mikez, you are running the circles. You aren't getting anywhere. Why would I have to have credibility when I'm the one looking for information from a reputable source to see if applying wheel spacers is a good thing to do or not. And that I found the valid info from others I am correcting you. You definitely sound insecure, I mean you have absolutely no self-confidence. Look at all your posts here.. like an 8-year old kid.. It's full of defensive posts and personal attacks. I can see something is bothering you a lot. :-)
This is a complete baby talk. It's like I'm talking to a baby.
It too late now. Since you lost total credibility and now considered a troll I might as treat you accordingly. It's now pointless for me to post anymore because I don't want to put myself into your level. The links I've provided in this thread has valuable information. You are young right now. Hopefully someday you will learn. I feel sorry for you man.

For real?? What happened to this thread? Some of ya'll have been busy.
Returning to the topic at hand, I probably will pass on the spacers. I don't want to take any chances. Also, I don't plan on keeping my car long and so the mods I do to it, I realize I want to be able to unload the vehicle with minimal hassle.

Mmmmm you both have too much time in your hands... Arguing over stupid stuff.
Anyway, I personally think using a spacer would have a side effect on the durability of other immediate parts affected (spring / shockers / bearings etc)
But... I personally change car every 3-5 years anyway.... so I will still use a spacer because it looks cool. The pros outweight the cons.
Having said that I would not go crazy with 25 / 30mm spacers. maybe 10mm - 15mm

Wow, arguing on the internet.... fun!! How is this thread still open??
Anyway, Spacers may put a little extra stress on your bearings/suspension, but people do a lot worse to cars than that. Drag racing, doing burnouts, etc will do much more damage to your car in the long run than some wheel spacers. Especially since most of the spacers available for the 2IS are hub-centric. That helps lessen the amount of stress put on the suspension parts.
