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 !

Beam spacers have been around for years, simply to make and work with air
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
