Has anyone seen any threads on here with complaint towards the Ichiba V2 spacers? I see a lot of positive reviews about them, but there's always that one that makes me fear for my life. It's most likely something like an over/under torque issue... but still scary. I want to go with 15 MM V2 spacers if anything.
Thoughts?

I have H&R 25MM spacer adapters on the rear of my 89 Celica. The spacers need to be to torqued down again(use the same spec as the wheel lug bolts) after 60 miles of driving(as per instructions) then it's definitely good to go. Fender rolling is in the car's future on the rear as it touches the tire on hard cornering. It's lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs.
Edit: You only have to retorque once after driving the first 60 miles with them installed to make sure they are still at spec.

Re: Let's talk wheel spacers.
dq - are they bolt on spacers from eBay?
Dropzone - you have to remove the wheels and re torque them every 60 miles!? Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
