I know a lot of people were interested in how spacers would look on stock rims so I put these pics up. Tell me what you think. PAGE 2

 

Noice dude, Noice. Looks good. "Fat Stance". Keep us informed of quirky handling characteristics or abnormal tire wear.

 

That's a nice look. I noticed on your homepage that you added an Alpine amp. Do you have the Bose and if so, did you do the install yourself? How does it sound?

 

It sounds good. I didn't do it my self. I have a 1000 watt amp to power a Solar Barics L7 10".

 

Looks real nice. Did you need to add anything else on w/ the spacers or did the wheel bolts reach? Also what brand did you buy, and do you feel a difference?

 

I got H&R spacers and I don't really feel any differance at all. There is no vibration at all either. They came with the necessary parts to do the job. I do know that they had to take the whole brake assembly off for the install.

 

car looks good. How is the ride quality with your springs/struts?

Harsh, smooth etc.


Newbie question....

What do the spacers do?

 

Damn, was it hard to do? How long did it take?

 

The ride is good. But I DO recomend that you get some kind of aftermarket shock. Makes all the differance in the world. I didn't do the job but I was told that it took a good 6 to 7 hours by my machanic.

 

That's a lot of work, must be expensive. Oh well, there goes that idea! Thanks for the quick responses.

 

Not cheap!! Thanks for the comps by the way everyone!!!

 

The drop on your car is nice. What kind of suspension setup do you have?

Thanks, I am running Eibachs with Tokicos.

 

Bill - I like what you did! Looks sweet! I think that I may do the back in the spring if I upgrade my brakes. Did you get an alignment after? It would be interesting to know if the spacers throw it off.

This is OT, but I ended up putting Toks on with H&R. It was just a bad idea to even try installing the springs without new struts.

Thanks Bill, Yea it will make a big differance if you get the Toks. How is the drop on your car? No alignment. I was told it was not necessary...

 

VERY NICE setup! This is exactly what I'd like to do. Get the nice lowered look and push my wheels out farther to make them look beefier without having to resort to bigger, heavier wheels. Awesome.

Did you have to replace the wheel lugs or lugnuts as well??

DW

 

yes but when you order the spacer they come with all the parts to do the job.

 

6-7 hours? did you pay for that much labour? It only took me about 1 1/2 hours do to the fronts.

 

Not sure what to tell ya. I trust the guys I do buisness with.

 

No biggie I just think the time is a little excessive. But as long as your wheels haven't fallen off it's good.

 

 

looks nice..

 

Thank you.

 

Pics of my front spacers, 20mm as well

I bought mine so I could fit my stock wheels over my brake kit and use them as winter wheels.

 

Where did you get those spacers from? How much did they cost ?

I bought them from http://www.optauto.com for $100US.

 

Anyone have a part number listing of the spacers with our wheel spacing?
