Any downsides you encountered to welding it? I just went and bought longer screws and used blue loctite. Not sure about the longevity of blue loctite though, because when I was just giving the car its post track tune up, I rechecked the throttle plate screws and they were loose by about 1/2 a turn. I guess I'll try loctite one more time and then go from there once it becomes overly annoying.

Question for those of you who actually read this thread:
Which spacers seem to hold up the best and how much is too much? I was thinking of 20-30mm for the fronts that have the studs pre-pressed. I usually go through frpsort for the stuff I can't get locally. They have h&r, project kics, and ichiba. I've never paid attention to wheel spacers until now so not sure which ones will hold up to drifting, autox, etc..
