What size spacers should i run?
Hey folks...
lowering the car tomorrow with some Ohlins R&Ts. I know it will make the wheels look a bit sunk in. what size (H&R spacers) spacers should i get? i was thinking 12MM all around but maybe someone who has done this already has a better idea. can any one help out?

I remember reading a thread that explained how anything past 10mm would negatively affect the suspension geometry by adding negative scrub radius.
I ran 10mm all around and found it perfect. |

I have 10mm in the front and 5 in the rear. 10mm in the rear just looked to weird to me...plus I think it would rub as my M is on low in the back (O R&Ts.)

Not sure, usually the spacer sets come with longer bolts. Alternatively you can just got with a stud kit, which is the preferred route.

thought about that however i hate that you have to replace them from time to time. they are considered a consumable. basically dealing with high heat and stress overtime makes them weaker.
