      Class B. I think regional classifications are slightly different though.

                I like the spacers. I seriously doubt any of you would notice an increase of 16mm in the rear track of a car if nobody told you.

                How much are you going to sell the exhaust for?

                    nice exhaust note. It looks cool with the wider track, too bad it upsets the handling.

                        Does that include the piping too?

                            If that muffler is dual in and fits the stock piping reasonably, I'm very interested.

                            Car looks good with the spacers, then again I'm running ET20 wheels with the same tires anyways. ;)

                                actually, you have it backwards. increasing the track increases the leverage that the wheel/tire has on the spring, resulting in a lower effective spring rate, which in turn increases body roll. with increased track you'd ideally want to up the spring rate to compensate.
