Eibach spacers

Post by lem » Thu Nov 06, 2014 5:46 pm

Car is booked in for a full Milltek in a week and am considering spacers at the same time to get everything done at once....

The workshop I'm using currently only stocks Eibach spacers and will let me know on the day what width they recommend.

Any experience/thoughts on Eibach as I know many of you have gone for the H&R ones

Thanks all

I'm no expert but I think the key is to make sure that the spacers are hub centric, that's the first question to ask the supplier.

I've used both H&R and Eibach spacers in the past and have found little to no difference in quality between them; they are both excellent.

Great - Ill see what they have in stock. Think they do a 3mm, 5mm, 8mm etc so maybe the 8mm will be a good compromise?

You may find that 10mm is the minimum, otherwise they may not be hub centric (which is a must). Speak to Virdee, he knows his stuff but can be slow to respond.
