Hey Guys.
Got a 172 cup. Its on 16s (205) OZ superlegerras. Will be getting some BC Coilovers and want some spacers. What would you recommend? Got the stud conversion fitted also.
T.I.A
Sorry mate - I was gently ribbing other Rojer above (y)
Its not a race bud, I think the issue was the Meg was quite quick so being a bit slow in the corners (for whatever reason) then gunning it on the straights is always annoying. Just take it on the chin, everyone is friendly here.
Yep, about the 4th lap out it was knocking like an impact gun on left handers. Didn’t fancy blowing to pieces as it was early on so babied it for the day. Trust me, it frustrated the s**t out of me as I love Anglesey.
Turns out when I replaced the driveshafts that it had had a driveshaft spacer...
Yeah i saw that aswell but its the same story id pay 30bucks for the spacers and then another 50 or so for the customs... thats why im asking if anyone has them so they could send them as a "gift" so customs wont rob me so much (i would pay for shipping and the price you ask just the package...

My thoughts on this (after I had them on for about 6 months)
1. do it properly
I bought the calipers with some awkward brackets and these seem to be the reason why my brakes squeal like mad (tried 3 different sets of pads from 3 manufacturers)
If you get your hands on some used calipers make...
...to upgrade the front door speakers.
130mm same as factory with the problem that they need more depth space when fitting. I did look for spacers but didn't find any.
So I believe I have two options left:
1) cut that tube/pipe a bit so that should allow me to fit the speakers
2) send them...
...6 pots which have been recommended to me but the 205 restomod version so slightly less weight and more clearance will mean I can ditch spacers finally, and a few alignment tweaks.
Also looking at weight loss smaller fuel cell and PDM to drop unneeded circuit racer parts of loom, plus Maxi...
Good luck with the build, I have done lots of road rallying in the past with some good results in cars that were not the usual road rally cars in the northeast. It's just so hard to find a good navi these days for road rallys.
Regards the suspension, an old boys trick to raise the front end was...
Tyres will be a massive upgrade over the previous 4 year old Conti 5’s that are beginning to crack and have been quite frankly s**t.
Sorry I’m not understanding what you are saying about spacers though.
PS4S fitted.
I fancy some spacers. Any recommendations on sizes? Do I need longer bolts too depending on size? Never ventured into the world of spaces so have no idea 🤷🏻♂️
