Instead of using costly anodize, we have used a 'gold alodize' which takes care of the oxidation of aluminum and provides a nice sleek look.
So wtf does that mean? They spraypaint them? And is that price for 4 spacers or 8?

I don't know, I just put it up there for anybody who is looking for subframe spacers as just another something to look at. I'm not selling them. So I guess talk to the guy who's selling them. I'm just trying to help out those who don't know where to look yet.

Yes, anodizing DOES strengthen the surface of aluminum.

how many subframe spacers does the 240sx need? You still didn't say if that price was for 4 or 8

edit: nvm u said u just posted it up for whoever is interested in them. I'm sure it's for four anyways.

'cause they're gold. And gold is part yellow. And yellow is fast!

Plus, how do you expect any results out of something from Home Depot!? Somebody needs to catch up on their Super Street. . .

will do. i found a couple sites showing how to install these spacers on a z32. i hope it helps. They both use the same pictures, but one is easier to follow and the other has maybe a couple pictures that the other one doesnt have.

greg is super cool in person and via internet/phone
EXTREMELY knowledgable too

my car was the first s13 w/ his subframe spacers for testing (make sure they fit) when toso sold them to 240sx guys on a group buy early last year or so..

work great on s13, s14, z32 and im sure s15 as well

his are 4 lower spacers which are most neutral and reduce wheel hop (which is great for so many z guys who drag race a lot). the 8 way ones are graet for fine tuning your suspension for racing/drift etc.

i'd buy gregs for sure if you are thinking of some. very very well made and quality is top notch. also greg has been making them for years and still sell extremely well for him

price/ i want to say 'retail' is 85 ish..might be less. i forget. but its worth every cent.

Ok i emailed Greg and asked him if it was ok that i posted how much he let me have them for... he said that yes it was indeed ok and that he wanted to be competitive in the market.

Greg sold me some subframe spacers for $60 SHIPPED!!! He said feel free to email him... enjoy [email protected]!

Oh haha... what do you know, my friend's golden spacers are getting kinda popular in a way.

Yes, I have these spacers on my S14, and they do the job... fit perfectly and whatnot... for a cheap price.

I know the guy who made them -- he had the spacers machined for an engineering class project or something like that. He was in my English class... anyway -- in case anyone was wondering... the spacers are a good deal.
