Do I really need spacers in the front?

Ok, so I am sticking with my stockies until after the snow season and just installed 20mm Ichiba spacers on the rears yesterday. I still have another set of spacers sitting in my trunk, which I may put on the fronts or sell'em. But just looking at the way that the rears sit and the way that the front sits can anyone really tell a big difference that there are no front spacers? Should I really put them on? btw, the car is dirty but then again the car is black, iykwim.

"Need" is such a relative term.

I would say yes...I think that all four corners pushed really makes the stock stance that much more aggressive.

I was thinking the same about that. Just couldn't tell much of a dif from the front except you can see the brakes more clearly and it does have a tucked look. I really should have gone with a 25mm on the rear for a more aggressive appearance, which with the stockies it really would looked better. If anyone is considering spacers on the stockie 18's of a sedan 25 would look better, imo.

any closeup shots of the rear to show how it sits? Plus, do you know what the offsets on the stock rims are?

Spacers give a wide stance but performance-wise what would the benefits be? Wouldn't it effect the suspension? Just asking and hoping to learn something. If beneficial would consider to put on x coupe.

spacers will change your suspension, wider stance yes, better looks yes, performance big fat zero

Will it diminish performance or just stay the same? If it diminishes performance then I don't see the reason to do it?

They technically increase performance. Wider stance = a better center of gravity. But you will never notice, maybe a bit on the track
