Yeah those type of spacers should definitely hold up to daily driving conditions. One of my buddies has spacers like those on his silverado all around ( I believe they are also 1.25", helped him put them on and change out wheels about 2 years ago and as far as I know they're still doing well) and he goes off-road with it on occasion so they're durable, assuming they're of the same quality

Is it that noticeable? I was looking into these, but I'm not exactly sure if it'll make that big of a difference. Where did you get yours?

Car looks good, btw!

Have you noticed a difference in the way the vehicle handles since installing the spacers? When using a thick spacer on the rear to widen the stance it will usually increase understeer. A wider stance in the front compared to the rear will usually increase oversteer.

Thanks...It is quite noticeable... I love the look of mine, however I think a 1" spacer might be the ideal off-set...

Haven't noticed any difference...... Once I take a few harder corners, I'll report back...
