Spacers needed with Pro Kit?

Hey guys,

So I know there are alot of threads talking about the best spacer sizes with the Eibach Pro Kit drop, however every single thread I have looked at refers to a different wheel than I have. I have the stock 2011 G37S rims, Enkei 19'' Sport OEM rims. I've attached the picture of the rim I am referring to. With these rims will I need spacers? I know alot of it is subjective, but what do you guys think? Any one have pictures? Worse come worse, I can order the spacers after I install the springs and before I get my car aligned.

The springs are used so I will get them installed, take it to get an alignment around a week later and get camber kits if needed.

Thanks
rox

Sounds good. I will be getting the H&R ones from FBPARTS. Are you sure 15mm and 20mm is a good combo?

I've just received both H&R DRM 15 mm and 20mm spacers today and will install the Eiback PK this weekend. I don't know how the look will be though. Btw Jomer Meer at Fbparts was awesome...

As long as that link I posted is the look you're wanting it's a good combo

DRS or DRM? I will get them installed with my alignment since all my tools will not be accessible? Is there a price difference in the install of the DRMs v the DRSs?

DRMs are a simple DIY bolt on, the DRS involve removing and replacing all the studs, much more labor intensive. No way would I pay to have the bolt on DRM type spacers installed, these are as easy as mounting your wheels to your hubs

Please post pictures with and without the spacers if possible! You would be a life saver!!

Just be sure to torque to 85 ft. lbs. and recheck your torque after 500 miles.
And DO NOT use any locktite on the nuts.

I dont have pic that without spacers cause i put the spacers on right after I had the spring installed.. Sorry for the crappy iphone pic . 4 hours after drop 20mm F and 15 mm R..Btw he is my friend trying to measure the gap...



Go to post #3 I think this drop is without spacer.
