No, they are slip on spacers.

I bought half of this setup. If you contact Felip @ Cortex he can sell you just the 10 for the front it you don't want to do all four wheels.

These are the lugs I ended up with:

If you decide to go that way and only want the fronts, I'd be glad to sell you the 10 I'm not using. ;)

Nice one! :)

I found these, I think they are the same studs:

Would you agree?

So I can get those, get 20mm slip on spacers made by Lenny and some gorilla lug nuts and I am good to go. :)

So why did you switch out the springs? The fact that they are just lighter or what?

Because car sat too high on stock GT PP springs!

The ultralights drop the car a little too much in the rear, I'd say around a good 1" in the rear, whereas 0.5" would be perfect. So a 12mm spacer will raise her up which will result in around 0.6" total drop in the rear.

Makes sense to use a spacer than going through the whole expense of new rear springs and taking the risk I still might not be happy with the drop.

The Eibach are progressive and the Steeda are linear; it has nothing to do with the weight.

Um, that's not how spacers work. ;) Spacers move the wheel further out from the wheel hub, they don't change they height of the car.

I'm talking about a spring spacer, spring pad or spring isolator, changing the thickness of this does indeed effect ride height. :)

sounds incredible , forget the gt350 your car sounds amazing. looks like a fun day. do you dd your car with this header and exhaust combo?
I do - 34k miles worth of obnoxious V8 orchestra. ;) In the cabin it isn't bad at all, especially when just cruising. Outside, well, all I can say is I have several LEOs as neighbors and have to drive by a Sheriff's office on the way to my house and haven't had an issue yet. I do have one neighbor that texts me 'to let me know' when I'm leaving - thankfully he's a car guy too.

Thanks - I keep replaying the videos myself since I never get to hear it from outside. I love this mic setup!

On the long straight I'll get to around 7200-7300k in 4th. Otherwise I'm shifting around 6800. I'm not after record times, so I keep it a little easy on the motor.
