Yeah, spacers with build in studs starts at 15mm+.
10mm and 5mm are too thin to have build in studs.
I'll be measuring the exact measurement later today to see how many mm I need and go from there.

Ramset Australia

You could also get a female concrete anchor that will sleeve the hole, taking up the slack and allowing you to re-use what's existing.

Called a concrete guy just to be safe.
(Firm Built, as mentioned by Catalin in VLS/Home Reno)

He checked it out, said the slab wasn't deep enough and that it was at most 2 inches. The lift requires 4 inches min. It's not really something I want to fuck with since it's a safety issue. I don't want it to ever fall on me/car due to a shit install.

He's calling me back with a quote tomorrow, and suggested that he digs 2x2x1, then fills. Sounds reasonable.

Also asked him about putting in a 20x8x1 slab on the side of my driveway, and he said it would be about $1700. So I'm really hoping that the fix on the anchor sites won't be anymore than $500.

This lift better be worth it.

Washed and waxed, decided to take off the license plates like mb_ does. Then went to get gas and more wax from Canadian Tire, and drove about a block before realizing I didn't put the plates back on :badpokerface: I blame you, mb_ lol. Also cleaned the wheels and finalized my headlight adjustment.

Someone got a bit too excited.

Project Kics makes a 10mm with built in studs.

The wheels look a bit small. Lowering the car should help.

Was running rich, and was told it might have been my valves. So I went ahead and adjusted them, to discover that wasn't my problem. Did some research online, and completely overlooked and forgot about the dirty air filter which came w/ the air box. Replaced it, and it was fine.
