Thank you sirs...I've been meaning to post a little mention in the sponsored sales forum about the spacers for a week now, but I've just been way too busy trying to take care of a lot of other things around here. I'm only now able to slowly catch up on scionlife! Anyway, also, if anyone happened to email me at the van@onetongarage.com email address within the past week but hasn't received a reply yet, please try again. Our cable modem service died, and then when it came back up, the email server was acting up... so I might hae lost some emails in there. Anyway, I hope all you guys who bought-and will buy-the spacers make sure to take pics of your cars before and after!

I FINALLY bought a set from Van.

I haven't had time to mount them due to rain and lack of strength in my right hand.

These are just as good as the prototypes I saw over a year ago, if not better. I know some peeps that have been running them ever since Van relased them and have had not troubles w/ them.

The only thing I've been thinking about, can I run these AND camber plates? If not, anyone know where I can find some studs at least 25 mm longer?

They're not wheel spacers, they're hub spacers....... Much safer.

Van sells hub shim spacers (much safer) and wheel spacers. His wheel spacers are not hubcentric...

my bad. i see now. still, i feel as long as the spacers are hubcentric they are safe. it's when they are not that you run into problems. the price is not bad at all. i'm still a bit partial to the HR spacers but we'll see. money talks

your cars look great though. i did not know about the 3 millimeter difference. crazy. has anyone found a remedy for this?

oh and before i forget. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yup, finally got mine installed w/ the help of Ken (NCP31) of Michael's Mufflers.

Man, I should have mounted these over a year ago when they were first available!

Nice job VAN!
