YES! DO IT!

how are you doing the rear? you can use the stub axles from drum brake golfs with the stub milled off for a cheap 10mm spacer. i didnt know when i did mine and splashed out on getting some made.

id say better stability on quicker corners and better turn in speed. it probably helps in other areas as well.
