As you guys can see, compared with the original car, it has been greatly improved in appearance and stability.
If you have any other comments, please leave a message, I will study hard. Thank you for your reading.​

Good chance he is a Vendor with the Product Name on the front of the car. I imagine Ludachris will contact to find out for sure, but the issue with this spacer set up has been discussed quite a bit and your comment, TMSBoss, is super valid for those who track their cars!! Heck of alot easier to contact Optimum Performance and get one of his high quality spacers and he is a site sponsor.

This is Track Mustangs Online, so taking TMSBoss's note ( Not for track use ) it is easy to see this is the wrong place for this dangerous set-up.

To add this style of spacer to a performance application, AP Brake, like they did (see above) Is asking for trouble.

If Nader had not already stolen the phrase "Unsafe at Any Speed" it would apply here. High Performance Brakes with this style of spacer?? Hope they are insured well. If anyone here chooses to use this style of spacer, let me know. I'll move to another run group.

Welcome to the site @kwok - forgive me if I'm making a false assumption here, but it looks like you're posting this thread with the intention of promoting the spacers you've described in your write-up. If that's not the case, apologies. Maybe you're genuinely trying to help others and not just promote the product.

In any event, you've probably noticed that this site is heavily focused on track-duty applications. Most people who use this forum are here because they are looking for content specifically geared towards the track. Some products, like the spacers you've written about, are not really recommended for track use - as others have pointed out, these could potentially be dangerous when used on the track. For that reason, I'm going to lock this thread - and will likely remove it soon.

If you have more write-ups on products that are meant to help improve performance or safety for track use, please do share some of those here in the forum. We love seeing content like that here.
