  4. My car's fitted with H&R 20mm lowering springs and 16mm spacers at the back. (I'm not sure if you can get 17mm) ... I've had the 20mm spacers fitted first. This caused the tire to rub against the arches. Front has 8mm but I'm not 100% sure at the moment, I'll check it when it soon. Anyway with 20mm rear:

  7. Springs and spacers both H&R. I got the 20mm spacers for sale (naughty sale spam going on here!) :smiley:
    * I do mean the 35mm for the springs

  9. 20mm is possible, there are some guys running 20mm spacers on the rear. I had the tire scrubbing the arches with Pilot Super sports fitted. Switched to 16mm and it's much better. 4mm does the trick :smiley:
     
  10. The spacers am looking at are 17mm rear 8 mm front from kgbcarbon

  11. Are you just using longer bolts or standard size?
     
  12. Longer bolts. I'm no professional here ... my garage fitted them with the longer bolts so I guess that's best?
     
  13. Yeah they come with longer bolts to suit

  14. Something worth thinking about. It makes it look great I just wouldn't want it to change the cars handling too much.

    Have you noticed a difference? I guess 16mm wider track at the front won't be too bad?
     
  15. did you get your spacers mate? what are they like?
