Purplefade is on a distinguished road
Spec X5 Overland Build

Would agree on the cost for sure. I would also say if they are a hard enough material that there shouldn’t be any issue and they may definitely be easier on the rear end during your off-road sessions vs the aluminum for sure [emoji106]

My only concern, and it may be completely invalid, is the rear spacer sturdy enough to hold up to a spring moving around on it all the time. I know my power flex insulators on my Notchback are poly, but they’re only about a 1/4 inch thick.

Call me paranoid but I might try to find an insert that matched the inner diameter of the rear spacer opening and bolster that top hard plastic lip a bit. Again, probably paranoid but with an inner metal “bushing” it may help keep that upper lip from flexing as the spring puts leverage on it, especially in harder off camber turns with the weight of the X leaning to one side.
