I'm guessing your car is lowered since you want spacers... With a drop I'd say 20mm will be perfect for you since you wanna go aggressive 15mm look good too a little less aggressive though.

25mm would be a little too much. Your tires would be sticking out of the fender a little. 20mm would sit just right and flush. SAM has 20mm all around, take a look at his G.

I went for 20mm FiC spacers ... they're great and looks great with 20mm.

20mm looks perfect with Eibach, and stock rims. Im running this set up.

25 too much.

Look at the previous thread "Springs, Sway Bars and Spacers... Oh My!"

TVPostSound is correct. 20mm does look perfect with the Eibach drop. 25mm would definitely start to stick out.

Here is the link to my post: Springs, Sway Bars and Spacers... Oh My!

Is there a consensus on bolt-on vs. extended studs? Maybe a dumb question... It would seem like a 1-time project of removing calipers and rotors would be worth the state of mind. One less point of failure... and not having to check torque every couple months.

Also, does everybody go same width front and rear... was thinking of 15mm up front and 20mm in the rear. Will that create a noticeable mismatch? I mean we're only talking about 0.2" diffference. Anybody have pictures of 15mm up front w/ Eibach Pro Kit on stock setup?
