got them from Thunder Racing!

only thing with these spacers were that i didnt get the studs that screwed into the VC Bolt Spacer... had to goto orchard and get some studs... of course i didnt call to ask if they just forgot to include them.just fixed it on my own No biggie.

But it was also a cheaper price than what is on their website now, so I think they are selling a total easy install package. I got them a few months ago before they even had it up on their site

i hope that you are not planning on using that syntec back in the background, your rings will have a hard time seating in unless you use some standard type of oil. synthetics tend to bond to the chrommoly and the cyllinder walls. just a bit of advice.
