AUCTION: rear sub frame spacers

Rear sub frame spacers for S13, these are the same as VC's.
I fitted these this morning, drove to girl friends house then went home to take them out. They really make the rear feel much tighter and the turn in is far better withh less body roll. My only objection to them is the road noise the transmit. They kinda defeat my sound proofing.
So what offers guys.

no need to remove the subframe, but you do need to drop it a bit.
basically you just jack up the rear of the car, loosen the nuts and lower the subframe with a jack under the diff! stick them in, then jack it back up and tighten the nuts. a 30 minute job max.
these normally sell for over 500 bucks new. offer gary a good price dudes! its worth every penny of the 500 bucks!!!

I'm quite keen on these. How does R250 sounds?

Sounds good but it is an auction so the person with the highest bid takes them.
They really do stiffen up the rear.

Sounds like a good upgrade. But I have a sh*t long list of upgrades that I have to do... and everything seems to be at the right price. And the money from the bank I robbed is just not enough for all of it...
Gary or VC have you got a pic as I don't have this upgrade on my list, nor have I done my homework... excuse my ignorance...
