Handling Question

[EssexIbiza1985]

Im thinking of getting some spacers for the back wheels as even with alloys the face of the rims stil sit under the wide ibiza back arches.
was thinkin bout either 10-20mm.

If i only use spacers at the rear is it going to cause problems with the handling or damage anything?

Eibach do some spacers, i was looking at them the other day. I want some for the back. It is supposed to make the car handle better. they have some 16mm (8mm each side) whatever that means. But i was wondering if i would need longer bolts.

yeh iv bin looking at 10-20mm on each side. bit more than 8mm lol. a lot of the places iv bin lookin at do longer bolts too. bit w*** tho cos spent £25 on lockin bolts n now will only b able to use 2 of them

Got Eibach 15mm Spacers myself (30mm in total) And it improves the handling and mainly stops the twitching at the rear!

You got to get longer wheel bolts, see badger 5 for them.

30mm each side or 15mm on each side?

 

[Dave_R]

15mm each side

I have a set of 10mm rear spacers which I haven't got round to puttin on as I dont have the bolts and I wasn't sure on how effective they will be?

I had Eibach 15mm (30mm in total) spacers on mine and it did make the handling better, I only took them off as i put different wheels on. Made the wheels sit better in the arches too.

 

[jenk]

You could always put wider rear wheels on

He has a whole forum section as he is a forum sponsor. Its under the "sponsors" section if you havent already guessed And if that doesnt help then his member name is "ibizacupra", so just search for that.
