Bolt on spacers with hydraulics?

I have to run bolt on spacers. I don't really have a choice for various reasons [clear strut and front brakes, correct stance, ect..]

I know race cars ect.. run bolt on forged 6061 spacers but is the camber going to negatively effect the structural integrity of the spacer? Is dancing around on hydraulics [or bags] going to effect them?

Thanks for the help.

Same here been riding on coils and dropped with 20's on using 20mm bolt on spacers and no problems here either. Even drove it in NY for a while slamming pot holes and bent a rim and still the spacers seem just fine. Aslong as there torqued on correctly I dont think you should run into issues. :biggthumpup:

The only thing that concerns me would be the bouncing of hydrolics, bt the rest is no problem....you will slowly start to wear out your wheel bearings if the spacers are big and the camber is significant...

Everything else should be fine. I have been rolling 25mm up front and 30mm in back for months now just to get the vs-kf's and now stock wheels close to looking decent

Awesome thanks!! I am so glad its not going to be an issue. I won't be bouncing with them so no worries there.
