25mm spacers arriving tomorrow!

Can't wait for my 25mm spacers to show up tomorrow. I've seen some people say that I should put some anti-seize on the lugs, is that correct? I'm more worried about them coming off. Torque them to about 80lbs/ft?

Is your car lowered? Does it rub? After running them for awhile, did you take your wheels off and retorque them?

I'm not trying to troll, I'm being serious.

If you cut your springs and you're looking for spacers, you're asking for trouble...

tein s techs with 25mm spacers all the way around. Cole33's car. He doesn't rub unless he hits a hard bump with someone in the backseats, but he obviously isn't as low as those cut springs. He has them torqued down so hard he broke a few sockets trying to take them off, he did put antisieze on them though.

also, every time i see another white rx8 that is lowered with the appearance package, it brings warm fuzzy feelings

Much Much better!!!! I can't believe the difference it made. I've only driven a few miles with them, so I'll retorque them after about 25 miles. That's what is recommended from the manufacturer.
