Yeah, they are pretty easy to put on. I dont have have a jack and there was snow outside today. I wasnt going to use the crappy jack that came with the car and do this in the snow.
Alexus, I used the same place in my town where you got your tips put on... midas dealer. He rotated my tires from front to back and put the spacers on total cost was 20 bucks to midas and 5 tip to Tom the tech at midas.
You should also have a torque wrench with the various settings, so you can tighten the lugs for the spacers to match the factory specs. I dont have this tool so I went to someone who i trust to do this for me at a awesome price.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the spacers and how much were they?
Thanks

My question is why on earth you'd want LESS traction? I thought about spacers but if I'm going to be spinning my tires all the time (which I am already doing) forget it. Got pics of the spacers prior to installing?

I have had rear 25MM spacers on for more than a year with the stock 17" tires and my tires don,t seem to have any less or more traction. I do think it helps slightly on cornering.

DrewGS4 - lookin' great. Without spacers the rear wheels sit WAY too far in. I assume you only put them on the back, right?
Also, can you show a pic of your car side on or 3/4 view? I'd like to see your L-Tuned side skirts. Thanks.
