Title: Esc centering plates
Post by: Dsport on 14 June 2012, 12:01
Bought PVW today and in the " new stuff" there are some Rear wheel centering plates they centre the rear wheel up if the car has been lowered more than  1.75" was just wondering if this is a new product or has it been done before, looking at ordering some but not sure so any imput app

There Was a group buy on e38 , I see if I can find the company/thread
Also if your running bags it stop the twisting / mis shape

Me and some of the local vw lot have been saying about these but there alot of dollar for nut alot really also im sure these ones will cause problems with bags as these are the spacer type not the ones that shift the hubs back i think ?

The best idea that I saw was the ones that space the beam back, is that the ECS ones ?

Theres some that are basically a chunk of metal inbetween the chassis and the axle mounts then theres ones that move the hubs back

I think the axle ones are a better idea than the hub ones tbh.

Yeah thats what the ecs ones are i believe but they dont work with air as far as im aware theres a lad on ebay with 5 sets at £160 each would be good to get a set then get a load machined up as there such a simple design !

They are the ones that move the axle back not the hub, thy are 109dollors  that about about £70
Going to get a pair when I get back of hol as every time I look at my car the rear wheel does my head in

Beam spacers have been around for years, simply to make and work with air

I did sell it, but it was too fast and too low for his wife So bought it back last night has got a slight graze on an alloy and she has caught the spoiler  :sad: going to get some new wheels and do some bits and pieces to it to get it looking how I want it
