Wheel spacers are a good mod for the csl.
I run eibach 15mm front and 10mm rear
it takes the little understeer away
It makes the wheels fit the arches without lowering the car.
If any 1 want to know where to get them and the right wheel bolts
just ask.
I have 10mm all round but the silver bolts that don't quite look right. So if you know where to get the longer bolts in black then shout.
:whistle:

The car is dusty as you can see with the front wing pix it looks like stone chips :moan:
But it make the car look wider and the wheels look like they fit the car
not sitting inside the wheel arches like they do.
HERE ARE SOME PIX WITH THEM ON

These look quite cool, I might invest in the New Year. I think the CA Automotive website stock the Eibach spacers and I hear H&R do good lightweight ones.
M3CSLIRL, The CA website looks like it had black and silver extended wheel bolts in case you're interested??

Mark where did you get the spacers/bolts from? Do you find much of a difference on the track?

I have 16mm eibach spacers all around... whit 245/35 front and 265/30 rear.. Yokohama Advan V103 for driving around and 235/265 cups for track
stability seem's much better with the spacers and car look's more direct on went getting in corners when braking...

I got them from Ca Automotive spacers and the bolts also locking wheel bolts
They give the car a better turn in and less understeer.
Give me a shout and i shall take you out in my CSL so you can see for your self .

When is the next track day at Knockhill Mark? I am in Italy working just now, get back on the 7/8th May, then away to Spa and The Ring on the 24th May, so wouldn't mind another outing in the car before I go once I get suspension fitted and some track tyres. If you are there for the next day I can make I can get a hurl round in your CSL.
