spacers

[Ric 2001]

Only put then on the back. Think they where about £65-£70 from awesomegti, and about £1.50 x 10 for longer bolts.

is that 20mm all round or just on the back? thinkin about it, the front wheels are pretty flush with the car anyway

 

[R1dd1ck]

rite sound. thanks mate. might get that done then! another thing to add to the list!

 

[Ric 2001]

total track widening is 40mm, 20mm each side, only goes onto the back. You can put spacers on the front but........... don't trust me.

Ru havin a conversation on ur own mate???

 

[R1dd1ck]

Can put spacers on the front, but cos they are responsible for doing thigs like turning the car and transmitting power to road I think it puts excessive stress on the bearings and causes premature wear! Not 100% on that tho!

 

[R1dd1ck]

ok. But it helps your handling round the corners im presuming? alot?

 

[Ric 2001]

Best handling mod is coilovers, then i'd say rear arb, then spacers, then a strut brace front, and if you want to spend even more a rear strut brace.

 

[R1dd1ck]

does the anti roll bar u can get ont back help there too?

 

[dozza.13]

Supposed to make a big difference! There's a big thread on the Jabba rear arb sumwhere!

for me i have gone the other way around front strut brace, spacers, arb's lol

 

[RichieRich]

ill let you know as i should be gettin my arb's in a few days then fitted by my friend who is also a mechanic, very handy!!!

 

[dozza.13]

You ordered the jabba one as well have you richie?

 

[RichieRich]

nope eibech ones mate... £150 for front and rear... or £200 for the jabba rear makes sence?
im looking to buy some eibech 20mm spacers from badger when he comes of his well deserved holls lol (just like me but spending my money on the car insted)

 

[dozza.13]

Sure its front n rear? After lookin on eibach website looks like the kit is just for the front! They dont list one for the rear!

Was saying which is the best to the "why did I bother putting this on" mod.

I personally went:

Strut Brace - Does nothing to handling - more body flex
Spacers - Car felt more "planted"
Coilovers - OMG BIG difference
Jabba Rear Anti roll bar - very good, back end does flick out as much.

Now just waiting to see if your going to be smug about the eibach, for £150 front and rear, very good deal it its correct. Or will dozza be correct?
