Rear subframe riser bushings- offset diff bushing or spacer kit?

[Roysneon]

When using rear subframe bushings that raise the subframe up to correct alignment changes from lowering the car, what's the best solution to keep the diff oriented how it should be? AKG uses an offset diff bushing, but I believe it's revshift that uses studs and spacers to keep the diff lower. Does anyone have an opinion on which is preferable?

I feel like the studs would make it easier to mount the diff and they seem like the best way to keep the diff where it should be and avoid it clunking around if the subframe is moved and it isn't.

The spacers seem to be a better idea in my opinion as they preserve the drive shaft and half shaft geometry.

spacer's all the way no doubt.

Offset diff bushings will leave you with a straight diff but you will still have different geometry with the drive shaft and half shafts, spacers solve all your problems.

That's what I was thinking, but sometimes things that make sense in my head aren't how they really work. Thanks, guys.

There's no way to get around using spacers if you want to keep your pinion angle the same, which you do. Some people say you have to use an offset diff bushing too, but not in my experience.
