Looks really good.
How would you rate the quality of the spacers?

I've done similar with the calipers in the past.
I found some heat resistant Brembo stickers on Amazon and then used VHT caliper clear over the top.

Looks great! Will the spacers make any difference in handling?

Honestly I rate them high. I've run numerous eBay sets on my lifted trucks and they are hit and miss. I've also bought the custom billet ones from Motorsports Tech. These seem really nice.

I wanted to take a slomo video so I had my coworker drive the car. Pretty cool!

That lowering kit is perfect.
Its a performance kit as well. I bet on a track it will shine.

Looks soooo good. I'd love to do the same but am on hold due to MRC. I have spacers with longer lug bolts on my 335, and my daughter runs the studded type you bought on her G37 lowered on H&Rs.

I'd like to try spacers on the Camaro, but don't want the added unsprung weight of the type with studs on this car. I'd like to try the Adaptec 15mm with longer studs:

Can't justify the expense of wheels/tires anytime soon. Rather put that money toward an SC fantasy and go +10mm on these stock wheels when the OE tires are done.

Yeah I understand. I'm going to have aftermarket wheels in the near future so this was the easiest way for me.

Did you measure before and after to see how close GM was on there drop specs. I like the 1.5 drop much better, but for most just closing the gap is much better then where GM started with the car.

Is it normal to have to trim down the factory studs?

Not always. Some wheels have relief areas cast in between the lug holes. If not, or if this area is of limited depth , and the studs stick out beyond the spacer face then they would have to be trimmed to fit. A 25mm spacer would have likely not required that..

If he ever decided to remove the spacers would those studs then need to be replaced?
