spacers for the LCA relocation bracket ??
Are they NEEDED....my dumb *** put them on today in a hurry and did not put the spacers in, infact I left them at the hobby shop I go to on my base so Im sure they got thrown away... I always mess something up when Im in a hurry. Anyway, when I get some time I will just get some more and put them in but Im just curious if they are that "important", the directions said something about it keeps the brackets from binding...?? I did feel a difference when I drove home though, my car has been lowered a long time with out them and with all my other suspension the car really feels good.

I believe they are very important. They prevent the bracket from bending inward from the tension. But u might be talkin about diff spacers than what i am thinkin about. but the spacers i got with my brackets, on the installation sheet, they said it was very important to put them in.

I know the spacers you are talking about from when I put my relo brackets on. You need to get them soon but I think you will be ok driving a few days without them as long as you dont hammer on the car from a dig or take any high speed turns. Just drive 'normal' until you get them in.

blcack...can you describe these fender washers. So thats all you are using and your car is fine. I really dont see how they can bind that much since there over a piece of steel. I dont want to jack my TA up Im just saying.

Like the below ASCII image
*[==]*
* = bolt head/nut
[] = bracket
= = spacer

No problem. It was becoming obvious that everyone wasnt real certain what spacers you were referring to.
