Questions:

-Does it feel heavy? Anyidea what it is made from (rusting/durability)? Are you going to pre-coat/treat it?

-Is there slack when the bolt is inside the spacers’ hole? Can you wiggle it around? Since the spacer sites on top of the existingshock’s mount and under the chassis-mount shock town opening, any play is notdesirable (I guess you can use this to affect camber/caster

). Do you have any thoughts on this? Would you consider drill and tap an alignmentbolt to make sure the spacer stays in place? Or filling the crevasse or wrapping the boltsection that pass through the spacer? (Note, just random thoughts)

-Does the bolt seem a bit too long/excessive to you?

Lots of questions! Lol ok here goes. I noticed on the front spacers (the triangular ones), that the bolts have a little wiggle. Talked to my manager at work (guy builds track cars for a hobby) he said he can tack weld an extra sleeve in in the bolt holes. Since all the holes have metal sleeves this seems like a sound solution. The rears are snug though. It's a poly spacer. Same material they use nowadays between the body and frame. Since its not metal there shouldn't be any rust concerns. Should they wear out in 5 years... they only cost $120! Bolts don't seem too long. Factor in the 10mm nut height... Should look pretty factory to the untrained eye. Hope that answers everything!
