I,m currently running 10mm rears and 8mm fronts....anyone running 15mm rears and 10mm fronts on here?
Would 15mm rears be too much? and do 10mm fronts work?
I have standard suspension?
Cheers
Chrissy.

Porky is running 12mm on the rear. If your car is not lowered I would say it would be ok. You might get a bit of rubbing on full lock.
Bet it would look phat with 15mm's

i persoanlly thing the front wheels sit fine in the arch, and given they steer as well,i thoguht best to leave that end alone,,
so i went down the rear only, and am well happy.
i havent got any snaps of my avant, but here's my previous saloon, very dirty with just rears.

I run 10mm rears only with 275 tyres which seems to do the trick. Wider spacers possibly if only 255 tyres but theoretcially only 3mm front 12mm rear?

It sits just right. I will have to get mine fitted, hopefully wont have any problems with my 20mm drop

Hi - I have a question, When you talk about 10mm on the back and 8mm on the front is that per wheel or overall?
I'm currently looking at Eibach Pro spacers, could anybody tell me if they are any good and that they are hubcentric?
Thanks all

That is per wheel, so 20mm axle width and 16mm axle length.
I have seen the Eibach spacers split before on a BMW, not good. H&R get the thumbs up from here. If it has a lip on the hub area then it is hub-centric, this is what you want.
