however, in addition to f'ing up the steering scrub radius and adding unsprung weight to heavy OE wheels, you're also increasing the lever arm length working against the swaybar and springs, which will increase body roll
why anyone thinks these help performance is beyond me

Yeah I don't plan on running them for Autox just for the street, I just wanna make sure they won't hurt anything on the street. Good info though, thanks.

you should get eibach..i installed 25mm eibach spacers in the rear and they are perfect..feels the same as when i didn't have spacers..my wheels still rub though against the fender liner after getting my rear fenders rolled

Where is a good place to get the Eibachs? What size wheels are you running? Should the center bore of the spacers be exactly 67.1?

the eibach spacer bore is the exact same size as our car..if your wheels use hub rings for a better fit, then just use them on the spacer..that site seems a bit pricey..i ordered mine from 2kracing for about 160 shipped for 25mm..my wheels are 18x8.5 all around but i am not sure what my offest is..thats why i rub still
