    Suitcase/center muffler delete is a cheap/easy and good choice.

    Yeah ended up heading down to a local exhaust shop to remove the suitcase (80$) as well as the old rear muffler. Replaced it all and it sounds clean compared to the old rattly can noise it made previously.. The entire thing cost me 200 so im happy. Also did a rear wiper and spoiler delete 2 weeks ago which came out sweet,

    Little quick update, had a fellow mate from on here (brookfromhamilton) came down to sus out some wheels that i had and as we took off my own wheels for fitting we stumbled across this. both spacers from the front have been completely broken off which sucks but my real question is how safe is it to run if i just re-screw the 4 extended bolts back on and just check every week if theyre properly tight? because they wont come off the hub at all... :S

    Wow! So the huB centering actually snapped off. That's crazy. Personally unless you had to run them for strut clearance I'd take them off. Last thing you want is for the actual spacer to crack and then lose a wheel...

    Name and shame. Where'd you get them / what brand.

    yeah like i just cant take the spacer off, its literally stuck in place with the original hub holding it in place. im forced to just have the 4 extended nuts to take the weight of the front end which is risky as fck, DONT BUY CHEAPISH SPACERS OFF EBAY. im stingy and this is what happens hahah

    Get some leverage in the gap between hub and spacers and get them off. It's not worth the risk!
