197 and spacers!

[Scott™]

Just had the car lowered guys and thinking of spacers now. I think the rear needs to be pushed out a little.

Has anyone had experience of spacers before and if so war would you recommend?

Scott.

H&R or Eibach hub-centrics. I wouldn't go more than 20mm though.

I looked at 15mm ones for mine but I'm going to leave it for the time being.

Is that just on the rear Chris?

Now it's down they defo need to be pushed out.

 

[Scott™]

Also where is best to buy them?

Mate with an R27 is running 16mm spacers all round with his H&R springs. Looks mint.

I'm on my phone so bear with me lol

 

[Knuckles]

I may have been wrong about it being Tom but 18'' turinis fill the arches nicely lol

20 mm all round mate? I will happily put 20mm on the rear but I really don't know about the front.

 

[ilaffe1]

Yep 20mm front & back with 40mm springs with no rubbing at all

 

[Scott™]

Do you have better pictures of the front end with the wheels straight?

 

[ilaffe1]

Best I can get in the rain bud

Go for it if you want to ruin the handling....

 

[ilaffe1]

Handling wise its never been on the track yet but road use its a lot better than my 172 gives a lot more confidence in the corners

Ruined the car for me, I had a set of 16mm eibachs on my previous 197 that was already lowered on H&R coilovers, I found it made it nervous/twitchy especially under braking. They lasted about 4 days lol. No need in my book

 

[Scott™]

Whats the difference here?

With this kit you will receive one pair of hubcentric spacers complete with centreing collar. The bolts pass through the spacer into the hub. You may need to purchase longer bolts separately as none are supplied with this kit.

OUR PRICE £86.00

Really ?

:rasp:

 

[Scott™]

Haha reading fail lol. Which is the better kit?

 

[Scott™]

Any advice?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

SRS ?

I'd advise you to go to Specsavers or perhaps just learn to read. Maybe you just need an early night

If you want the safer option IMO, go with expensive option.

The cheaper will - that's WILL - require longer bolts due to the 20mm disconnect from the wheel to the hub.

:S

<3 I'm just being a lazy c**t. I'm now thinking 20mm is too much.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Looking at those pics above, 20mm looks to be SBO.

Do it.

 

[fezsi]

I'm going for 16mm on the rear.

Do you really need to do the front if you space out the rear??

 

[cliosport197iow]

iv just ordered 25mm spacers for my 197
