Just my PH bit;)

They look better but ruin your front wheel bearings much earlier

I always had them on:)

Do they actually wear out noticeably faster with spacers on then Shimmz?

I know that it's an extra 12mm of leverage on the bearings.... ( I wonder how many extra Nm those few mm add? )

Obe had new front wheel bearings but that's after some heavy use

I think if you are road driving you'll not get any issues but extended time on track I think it will add up

I've got 12mm on the front and 5mm on the rear. The 5mm on the rear are purely for aesthetics (sp!) and fill out the back end perfect IMHO.

Hey baz have you had your steering checked yet!

No, I'm offshore at the minute, not home for another 3 weeks or so. I hope it's nothing to do with my spacers come to think about it. Mental note, remove spacers before taking car to BMW. :thumbs:
