    installed H&R spacers

    i am very pleased with the result, very noticeable increase in handling. they add 22mm to each corner...

      Nice.

      I want to do that treatment to my garage. It needs it, but I have to get everything cleaned out first.

                  Or the fact most people try to go for the smallest spacer possible when they actually need them, but these are probably the largest available for these cars.

                  I could think of many things to do with the money that actually would "increase handling".

                          But why do you wnat to ruin the handling of your car by installing spacers?

                          Spacers are intended to correct and incorrect offset of a wheel not push a correct wheel further away from its intended position thereby increasing stress on bearings and changing the geometry of the wheelbase.

                              funny, when kavkazia or whoever posted his shit with 14" weaves and spacers, every one jacked off to it. What's the difference? Oh, K had a IS lip.... :roll:

                              I'd love to see some evidence that 20mm spacers alone will "ruin the handling"
