Thanks mate

It's pleasing to see all the 'usual suspects' are helping to bump my ads occasionally

Only front spacers? I might be interested in a full set...

EDIT: Btw what has been your experience with running spacers? Would I get any rubbing with stock suspension? And can they be used on a Daily driven car or is it recommended I switch at the track...

In general, many respected tuners recommend spacing the front wheels only as it widens the track whilst helping combat the CSL's minor understeer.

Spacers can contribute to wheel bearing wear but this is generally associated when using them on track (due to extra loading stresses) and is less of an issue on road. Some people leave them fitted all the time but i generally don't as they can end up getting stuck to the wheels if they aren't removed every now and then.

Rear spacers are usually fitted purely for looks and bring little performance benefit. I never had any rubbing issues with 10mm spacers - the CSL can accept up to 15mm on the fronts i believe without problem.

Hello please ... 15mm front and rear solutions

No rubbing, and using all year round

Mind you did only use them for purely cosmetic, and filling the arches properly, that being said I noticed a difference when I changed from 15mm front - 10mm rear to 15/15, it just seemed a bit more planted in long swooping faster bends..
