How many people would be interested in a set of aluminum subframe spacers for $65.
These are much better than the Whiteline "align and lock" kit, and you don't have to drop the whole subframe to install them (unlike the whiteline kit).Would you?

Are these the ones that go on top and bottom or just the bottom ones?
The little bit I have read about these tells me that they are a good upgrade, and putting bottom spacers on helps you stick to the ground a little better, but putting top on is when you start getting really hardcore and you have to be careful because it will start altering the geometry of your subframe... a lot.
Can I get some other information or words of wisdom? I am definitely interested in them, for a cheap upgrade that produces results if nothing else.

Bud, I have the master set on my car, both top and bottom.
Things I noticed about them was that the back end is quite a bit more responsive. If I want it to step out it's just that much easier. I have blasted down a local twisty course and I experienced alot less wheel hop in the corners and the car "feels" more responsive in the rear. Some might feel it more than others, as is the case with anything. I haven't really taken them to the track to see for any gains there but I know from other people's experience that spacers help alot with solving some of the wheel hop issues on the launch.
It's not a miracle fix but for the small price I think they are WELL worth it, plus they are around the same price as the polyurethane whiteline units and a ton easier to install than the Whiteline bushings.
