Installed 20mm Rear Spacers (A33)

Before V

After V



These wheels/pictures do not give the spacers any justice. I cant wait to put on the stockees and see how close it is.
It feels much more structured in the rear when going on longer turns and feels as its much more secure.
It definately can be described as feeling more Neutral as others have stated.
Turning in general feels alot better.

Overall its definately a wonderful improvement with both handeling and looks.

You could probably still manage an extra 5mm. What is your wheel and offset size (before the spacers)?

My stocks are going to be real close...
18"s are 35mm and tires are 225/40/R18
17"s are 40mm and tires are 215/55/R17(all stock)
I can forsee new wheels in the next couple of years so I will all that in mind.
The first pictures shows the bad side. and if u look closely at the last picture you can see how much better it is on that side.
The damn uncentered rear beam is really noticable.

Amen. sunken battleships after spacers FTL.

yes...its not flush but when comparing to the passanger side to the drivers side the passenger side is...
(hence 1. uncentered rear beam)
and yes... the wheels are not the widest... off hand I think they are 18x7.5
(hence 2. wider wheels would be nice)
But for now the stocks will be alot better...(winter season)
