Been faffing about with spacers for a while.

Best combination for me was 12mm H&R rears/15mm H&R fronts

You can run 15mm H&R all round but the rears can rub the inner arches during spirited driving depending on your rear geo settings.

Wheel stud conversion takes away all the messing about with extended bolts.
Spacers will be the modifying limit

Loathe to play too much at the moment. As said in the other thread, should circumstances take another leap forward then things will change, big style

Until they do then it HAS to be regarded as an investment.

Get the car on track then really enjoy it, rather than make it a garage queen, it will still go up in value while you use it

It isn't going to be a garage queen by any means.

Anyone care to comment on how the 12mm spacers impacted handling?

Did anyone notice an increase in tramlining?

No change, unless you adjust camber you will not notice anything, quite a few of us run 12mm.

Increasing the front axle width will increase tramlining on the road but give you quicker turn in.

On track tramlining doesn't increase from my experience.

15mm spacers all round without an issue on track.

standard rear camber will restrict you to 12mm, any more and you could experience inner arch chaffing!!
