After looking at the condition of Dane's, that might be a good idea

Let me know if you need help. This was something not enjoyable to do, and

Thanks!

Justin might want some of that 93 octane

I wonder if that rubber will be too solid, transferring NVH to the body...
Do you still have the exhaust bracket that bolts to the trans on there? i had to drill new holes in that bracket to get it to sit right...

I may take my car back to the place that welded on the X-pipe resonator and see what they can do...

I went by the hardware store on my way home. If my idea works I’ll let you know. This buzzing is obnoxious.

Anyone used ECS brand wheel spacers? I'm looking at the 10mm and wondering of there will be any issue with fit, or if I'll need the hub extenders that they sell.

My ECS 12.5s fit just fine. From my observation the ECS lug bolts aren’t as rust-resistant as other brands, but it could just be the person I bought mine from wasn’t as gentle as I would’ve been.

I think those were probably my 12.5s. For some reason I thought your 10s were a different brand. I know your 15s were TMS.

Edit: I stand corrected.

i have a set of 15mm spacers that came with extended bolts. i bought a set of 10mm spacers with out bolts but i read online that I will need extended bolts for 10mm spacers.

does anyone know what length bolt I need to search for to use with 10mm spacers? or can i use my stock bolts with 10mm spacers?

35mm bolts for a 10mm spacer. I think 3mm (*maybe* 5mm, but I wouldn’t try it) is the largest you can go with the factory 26mm lug bolts.

i have two sets of ECS spacers - 12.5 and 10mm. i also have a set of 10mm burger motorsports spacers. the burger ones are hands-down a better product - nicer machining, and little cutouts on the backside to allow easier removal from the hub. they also fit the front hubs much nicer than the ECS ones.

in general, i think ECS-branded stuff is sub-par.
