Standard car with Spacers

bryce · 25-10-2011, 11:07 PM

My car is currently on KW v3s with spacers all round. However, my boy racer notions seem to be wearing off and Im considering returning it to standard (but keeping spacers).

Who has this set up and any pictures of it. I think I may struggle getting used to the monster truck stance...

IMHO 12mm all round looks fine on OEM, unless you have severe OEMOCD

Think Im on 10mm's all round Shim

I ran with 10mm up front and non on the rear. I took them off when I put the slimmer APs on, they were back on after a month, not so much for looks but I find it a better drive with them on.
Only my opinion

I have 10mm in front & 12mm in the back

Make sure they are NOT Eibach 10mm spacers as they fail on the hub and cause an accident.

Take one off ASAP and make sure!

Honestly? FFS, I know one set of them are. Got t'others off of Daz. edit Maybe not actually, looking at old PM's I dont think he ever sent them - something about an ex missus and things going missing, I dare not ask

So that'll make them eibach 10mm all roond

Jurn, I've been spying at your thread. You car looks beautiful and its on bloody Bilsteins! Im trying to come away from coilovers

I run 15mm all round with standard suspension but I like the widened stance, norm is to go with 12mm all round and as mentioned avoid the 10mm if you value your life, although to be fare not many places still sell them now.

What you doing with your suspension?

Whats the score with the 10mm spacers? Is it just eibach specific?

Yep, the Eibach 10mm spacers specifically exclude use with BMW hubs as the BMW hub breaks off the ring. Most people don't read the brochure and buy them then found out they have broken on the car

when the take them off.
