There’s always going to be someone come up with a reason to diss mods and I can get the fact about spacers “maybe” reducing the life of wheel bearings but you just don’t hear of it being a problem.
It’s just like the anti remap brigade “it will reduce the life of your engine” 🤦♂️
I know this sounds daft but the surface of the hub to spacer has to be spotlessly cleaned, in my wisdom when I fitted my spacers I smeared a very small amount of copper grease on the hubs but I found that even this caused slight vibration at 70-80
I’ve just had a full Bilstein b14 coilover kit fitted and had the top mounts done too I used to get a knock from the front now and then but it’s gone now and the b14’s are awesome what a difference to ride quality the rebound damping is just so good we’ll worth the money 👍
Both of the cars you are looking at have quite high mileages do your possibly going to encounter some issues oil leaks are quite common on the RCZ but usually quite easy to fix.
Go with your gut feeling it should always be the one in the best condition with the proven maintenance record good luck 👍
I believe it’s the 200 that has the short gear shift and also the small wheel but the small wheel could be purchased as an option so can appear on any variant 👍
You can just swap the pistons over could be easier said than done as one of my mates has just had his R in for the piston replacement and the garage allegedly had problems getting the old pistons out!
