Well I got around to installing my H&R 20mm wheel spacers today, and WOW do they make a difference! The car looks 100000x10^29384732 times better, and the handling is MUCH more neutral...i used to have a good bit of oversteer, which got kind of scary sometimes, and now it's almost impossible to break either the front or the rear tires loose...These made a HUGE difference, and were definitely a worth while mod! Here are some pics from the install:

Here's what i started with:

Here's why you had to install the new studs:

To do this, you had to first remove the caliper and rotor. First the top half of the caliper had to come off, then the other half, and THEN the rotor could be free...the top part of my left rear caliper (the main part with the piston.. single piston in my case :( was stuck on there pretty good, but i finally was able to get it off..

Once i got the rotor/caliper off, i had to hammer out the stock studs, which came out with one good whack...

Here's a comparison between the stock stud and the extended stud:

The new studs were so long that the only way to put them on was to bend back a small section of the shield

And here's why you needed to do that:

Here's what it looks like with the new studs sans the rotor/caliper

And here's what it looks like with the rotor/caliper

And finally, here are some shots with the wheels on:
