Title: Spacers
Post by: Ashmond on 23 January 2008, 10:45

Guys,

Quick question, put my coilies on last night but didnt have time to actually set the stance, should be doing it tonight but where I put my front alloys back on they are rubbing/catching when I turn the wheel so I would assume I need spacers. Has this happened to anybody else and if so what size spacers have people used?

Also has anybody else got the J-tec coilies on their car need to double check something with them!

Cheers

Got my coilover kit + arb on order now, hopefully here this week sometime.

Where abouts do yours catch and how low are you going when they do catch.

Cheers

They only catch on the front when I turn my wheels on 80% lock. The back is low as f**k at the moment though, will be sorting stance out tonight

looking forward to seeing pics of that.

Liking the look of your bumper and debadged grill by the way. having no plate on the front makes cars look so much better imo :smiley:

i have 5mm ones up front as the tyre caught the spring platform so i went 10mm on the back for looks, gonna go 15mm on the back though and maybe put the 10mm on the front for a fat stance
