Their shitty spacers are what started me down the path of hatred. They were shit.
What issues did you have with them? Gotta prepare myself mentally since I have them on my car.

If they work off the bat then they're fine. Mine didn't, they vibrated the car from the get-go. Lot of people had this issue, ECS blamed us for not installing them correctly. I might not be an ASE certified mechanic but c'mon, I can install a spacer competently. They didn't fit the hub very well.

I agree with you. Never had a problem with them and have been impressed with how fast they ship orders out.
Save yourself that hassle and get the powerflex hybrid one
Roceuro still make this? Been trying to find one.
Anyone got a recommendation on what other arm to use with the powerflex hybrid?

Also is there an answer for the powerflex hybrid working with the apr pendulum mount?

"Also, IMPORTANT POINT. The Powerflex and the APR Dogbone did not mate up naturally. I had to cut out some of the mount out to allow the APR arm to sit on it fully."
"The center channel where the bolt sits was also a problem. The APR arm barely squeezed over it, but luckily made it. The new bolt that APR gives you doesn't fit this Powerflex center channel though... I had to use the stock bolt, which, along with some loctite and a little extra torque (78 lb/ft) will hopefully be alright. But it all got on! "

Question... From those pictures, I can't tell if that is their lower puck or their insert. If it was already installed when you got the car, how do you know which product this is? They look the same when they're installed unless I'm missing something.
