Had a little test drive to make sure the wheels weren't going to fall off. It feels pretty good, might even be a bit better in the corner than before?

Do spacers improve the handling?, sure feels good

The slightly wider track will give it better stability when fronts are done, i.e turn in

running 15mm H&R's all round with stock suspension. Thought mine looked good til i saw the white wrapped csl @ cambourne on the 22nd October. Rear csl mags on the front, absolute dogs b******s!!

What about with all 4 done, any difference?

Generally a wider track will give you better cornering stability at both ends, but t really so noticeable on the road, But the front is more important due to the natural understeer of the car

Shimmy, would you recommend them if so what type and part number.

I just bought 4 x 12mm Eibach and extended bolts and eventually extended locking bolts. No idea on part numbers but obviously 5x120mm pattern.

As shim said generally yes, but only really noticeable on track, I was running 15mm all round, on clubsport KW suspension.

Black anodised KW spacers ... very nice looking as they don't go all tarnished over time
