Anyone do rear only spacers?

Hi all. I'm thinking about putting Bora 1.25 spacers on the rear only of my ST, 401A, all options. I'm a novice for mods. Does anyone have any guidance for pros / cons of doing 1.25 spacers on the rear only? Will I need to have an alignment done or any other suspension changes? Thanks very much for sharing your experience and guidance.
I swear if y’all would just do the alignment right you wouldn’t need a spacer at all. The track width is identical front to rear. Set the rear camber at -1° and the tires will match front to rear with no spacer needed if that’s all you’re after. Then you also don’t have spacers on the car that most large chain tire shops won’t touch when you need tires or a repair.

Eh. I think for me my time is worh more than taking it in for an alignment as well as the cost of the actual alignment - at least here in california. Also, I didnt got with the typical bora spacer that everyone seems to get here for around $150 for the pair and got my rear Hubcentric spacers for $45. 6000 miles on them, and no issues.
I will probably go with your option once I finally take the time to get the springs installed and an alignment will be required.

yeah I hear ya, but lets me real here - most "high end" tools and products are made in the very same factory as the cheaper alternatives (i.e. The same company that makes Milwaukee tools makes Walmarts Hart line). People like yourself feel spending a lot of money on something means quality, and hey, no shade coming your way, more power to you. Definitely not putting you down for it but these are are one piece of billet aluminum, hardened studs with a nice snug fit around hub. Bora spacers are...one piece of billet aluminum, hardened studs with a nice snug fit around hub for 3 x the price. ♂️
I’ve yet to see a Bora spacer snap a stud. I’ve seen tons of cheap spacers snap studs. You’re right…lots of things are made in the same place. You’re leaving out that they’re made with no more than the amount of quality the client pays for…they’re not all created the same.
I personally don’t run bolt on spacers…and never will. I prefer a properly fitting wheel.
