spacers

[Taipan]

hi
id like my FR to look a bit fatter but know nothing about spacers. looking at the Forge website i think im interested in 10mm or 16mm
will 16mm be too much?
can i just space the back wheels and it drive ok?
can i space the front 10mm and the rear 16mm?
Just really want to know how these will affect the handling etc

Thanks in advance ;-)

A lot of people go for 15mm rear and 10mm front. It doesn't really effect the hendling but it does make the car feel more stable and planted.

I'm thinking of slapping a few on, H&R get good reviews. You will need new bolts and new locking wheel nuts, oh and make sure you get the hubcentric spacers.

15MM FK concentric spacers # FK01515Z? since new, plus special bolts no problems with bearings/tyres etc. & they are TUV approved [ concentrics are a MUST though]

I have 12mm rear and 10mm front and it makes a big difference to the looks.

I have H&R hubcentrics. Not cheap but worth it!

I've got 10mm eibach pro-spacers allround. Big difference in looks and the car definitely feels more planted ad stable in corners. Especially the rear-end which can be twitchy as standard.

Well ive ordered 16mm Forge for rear and 10mm for front. Where do I get the bolts???

I think it was £129 all in. Nearly £100 cheaper than the H & R ones

Yeah but you don't get the bolts with them. Give me a shout if you'd like aprice for the bolts.

Well id hope it wasnt £100 for the bolts!!!!

No but for a full set it'll be nearly £60 plus postage but the Forge one's will still work out around £30 cheaper.
