Default 5mm spacer problems - PLEASE READ

Guys,

Just taken off the 5mm eibach / H&R spacers off the front wheels, as the 5mm spacer causes vibration on the steering... why you ask?

Well thats becasue unlike the 10mm spacers which have a lip in the centre to place the wheel back on, the 5mm spacers dont and this causes the wheels on the front not to be centered.

The rears are fine, and have to say the car looks even better with the rears on only...

FYI...

Thanks for the info.

Are you going for 10mm on the front next, or will you leave it as stock?
