12mm H&R all round

15mm all round is prob the best set up. Interestingly I have no rubbing issues at all with 15mm unlike CSLSF there and am running Kw v3 and ground control top mounts!!

Thats what i run no problem

15mm spacer on rear with -1.75 camber, 20mm on front -2 camber. No rubbing at 17mm lower than oem ride height.

You would be able to get away with 25mm on the front with settings above.

On the red car running 18" square set up I'm 15mm rear and 3mm front. H&R's all round.

Can probably get away with 10mm spacer on the front with -3.5 camber.

Hi all....been watching the thread develop with interest & it's been playing on my mind!
I'm a bit OEM obsessive, but really like the wider more aggressive look of the car with spacers
For me the 12mm all round option probably seems the right way to go
I would like black/anthracite spacers with extended black bolts
There has been much mention of manufacturers e.g. H&R, Eibach + I've tripped over Turner Motor Sport, ECS Tuning & of course some on Ebay, but not much discussion about longer bolts (or is this so straight forward to the experts like you lot that it needs no explanation) or as to where to actually purchase
Any guidance would be much appreciated
