umm i think the same company that makes the EZ fit makes another kind that is cheaper but requires quite a bit more work from what i hear... u can get the EZ fit from GWC for 80 im pretty suree.....

billet, where you get that? i'm assuming in came in a cylinder shape then? i'll have to hit the books and see if any of our suppliers sell billet aluminum

we use billet all the time at work i have a piece left that is big enough to make a set of spacers if you want it i would take about $25 bucks for it and thats a good price because billet is high i will take a pitcure of it if you want to see it.

aight man hook me up with a set of 1.5" spacers, but take your time (until my next paycheck all my moneys spoken for... 400ex a-arms) 50 bucks ain't a bad deal for something i can polish:D

PM me on how you wanna work out payment and shipping and all
