What kind of 10mm spacers did you go with? Bolt-on style or did you install extended studs?

Bolt ons start at 15mm+ 10mm is too thin for the hardware.

Kics Projects is probably the only company that I know of that makes 10mm bolt-on spacers.

Kics Project Hubcentric 10mm Bolt-On Wheel Spacers 5x114.3 12x1.25 (66mm HB)

Thanks man. Not sure why I didn’t just pony up for the full Akebono BBK kit from Z1 now that you mention it. ****. Car is getting Admin Intakes installed and dyno tuned at Portland Speed Industries next Friday so money is kind of tight. Exciting times though. Hoping to break 300 whp.

Damn, the pricepoint really goes up right away lol. I see they had to create custom hardware to make things work. Still, extended studs seem like a better option here.

Well, I stand corrected. I would feel so uneasy running anything under 15. Even 15 felt thin when I ran spacers.

Those are DRS style spacers, not DRM style spacer adapters. When Hexotic said "bolt-on", he meant DRM style adapters.

Honestly, I have no special expertise on spacers, but I think he's right that 10mm is too thin for DRM style spacer adapters.

You know, a quick email to B2 AutoDesign would clear that up in a second.

Put the stock FUCAs back on. A little less negative camber, but the Tein Basis Zs + SPCs just don't have enough FUCA clearance. With a stiffer suspension they'd work well.

Can you elaborate on what problems you were having?

I've had the SPC upper control arms along with BC coilovers since 2010. I switched out the BC's for Tein Basis Z a few days ago. Besides the front being a little too low (haven't had time to readjust the height yet), I don't think I've had any problems with the upper control arm hitting anything. What should I be looking out for? Thanks.

Replaced by Drive Belt w/ a Gates belt and changed out my air filters using Denso's First Time Fit filters. They're actually really good and cost less than Wix filters.
