Contact randode, or visit his website at http://www.randode.com The spacers he sells are less expensive than any of the other spacers I've seen (and he's probably the only person who actually has some in stock). Personally I own a set and am very happy with them. I've had them for about 1k miles and everything is in good shape.

I'm trying to get a little something in the works. I work for a large aerospace manufacturer, we do most all types of machining using the latest in technology. I originally wanted to just make a few sets of -3 camber shims and some spacers too, for myself and some friends. But with the loss of OTG, i'm thinking it may be worth while to make more. I was going to order a set of shims and some spacers to get some measurments, but now I can't. I can figure the dimensions out if i have to, but it'd be an easier start with a set to use for a starting point. If anyone has some they aren't using at the moment, I'd pay to have them for a couple days, and pay shipping back and forth. I'm hoping I can make them for a reasonable enough price to be able to sell them for less than the others, I think 150-190 dollars is a bit much for what they are. I'm thinking they can be made with certified material, cut on the newest technology CNC machines to super tight tolerances, verified by my Q.A (as if it went on a plane), and finished to aerospace standards for maybe 100-120 dollars a set. I'm not going to know for sure though, till i can get the dimensions to my engineer to draw up in CAD, then get the drawing to my programmer to get a run time, and a starting material size, so i can get the material quotes. Sounds like alot, but I think it's do-able. If anyone can loan me a set for a few days, shoot me a PM. If i get it rolling, i'll start a thread to show the progress. Sorry that took so long!

Thoughts?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/5mm-W...Q5fAccessories
So that would put me at a total of 10mm
5 on the hub spacer, 5 on the rings... thoughts?
