    That number is coming up with many results... (e.g. pug specialists / alloy wheel vendor / Brakes suppliers) which company are you?

    Be careful with those ebay spacers. People on DW have had studs snap!

    Its definitely worth paying the extra for the german ones (eibach or H&R)

    Some spacers bolt on to your studs/extended studs, but have studs of their own to bolt the wheel on to, ie:



    This is how my 25mm H&Rs work.

    The studs on the cheap ebay spacers have been known to fail. I wasnt talking about his needs specifically, but just a general warning to everyone about ebay spacers

    I've got eibach 15mm on the rear of my 13 and 20mm on the front - they were about £80 each from demon thieves!

    The spacers aren't for running S14 calipers under standard alloys are they? I initially thought 15mm would be enough, but unfortunately I had to go to 20mm
