I got spacers and they realllyyy suck!! Anybody else have them? I have metal ones and they are so annoying I want to rip them out. I have to keep them in for 3 weeks! I might go insane by then :cry:

Almost everyone goes through spaces :3 I had mine in for a total of 3 weeks too. I just had rubber ones though.
