Identify these spacers!
All,
After doing a headlight upgrade, and cleaning, waxing and going over all four wheels with cleaner, I decided to take a pic and see if anybody has these spacers on their vehicle.. I bought it with the spacers already on but have been debating about who is the maker.. My oil change places says H&R but are they?

Well, they were speculating, and having owned a Audi S5 and I put 20mm and 18mm up front, I knew they weren't H&R's. But never know whats been done on a vehicle until you start taking it apart

That whole thread was a very interesting read. However, I do not believe this ^^ to be the conclusion. I believe The Hack expressed very well the different failure modes that could have taken place, and spacer defect is one of them. Without more data it was not possible to determine the exact cause.

Well, anyway, I can sure take some confidence in that I did install mine correctly and they should be just fine... Not tracking yet so who cares.. Plus they were free when I bought the car.
