Question re spacers???
As the spacers effectively increase the length of the axel/driveshaft, do they not also therefore increase the stress/strain on those members due to increase in bending moments?

Supposedly the Weltmeister Turbo Star spacers (54mm) can handle > 7g cornering load! Good to know, if you want to convert your F-16 into a track car ;-P.

Spacers
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/6508/02tt_rem_tail_sml.jpg"></center><p>Dear Downunder,
We put Oettinger spacers (8mm for each side) on the vehicle when we upgraded the suspension and tire/wheel combination. As you can see (attached picture) a conservative widening of the track can make a quite a difference. The increased strain is negligible.
Good luck,
WK
