Spacers - Motorsport Tech or Ichiba?

I am about to order some spacers.

I see some people ordered them from Motorsport Tech, but I've also seen sets by Ichiba. pricing looks similar.

anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of going 20mm front and 25mm rear.

I did see some cheaper ones one ebay by Akata but the widest they make them are 20mm and they are a lot cheaper..I'm assumin they may not be as good???

any input appreciated!

I am running 19" OEM HPT wheels and am lowered on H&R springs. so SICK of the sunken in wheel look and want my wheels pushe dout... flush with wheel wells but not sticking out.. i saw a photo of Nexsen's car and he said this was with 20/25.. looks sick!!

From what I've read, Motorsport Tech is the way to go.

Remember you get what you pay for so avoid ebay.
MT, Ichiba, and H&R are good.
Here's a thread with pics on spacers:

No need, I swapped the ones I had on my silver onto the black (2yrs old) and they still look mint in spite of NE winters.

only places that sell ichiba are all on backorder.. it will take 4-6 weeks to get htem in from japan. or order from motorsport tech. price is about the same.
