I can take a shot from the same angle as the OEM of the front left, but here is a shot looking down the pass. side, after everything was changed (tires and sapcer)



Here is the front left, but not quit top down angle, 245/40 tire w/o spacers

 

this looks like an M3....

 

Here are a few new shots. This is my "R Package" or maybe it would be better called track. I still have a few items I'd like to tweak but the suspension is upgraded for now.

 

Nice blue.

 

hello there,
nice set up...
with the 5mm on the front and 10mm on the back, did you have to necessarily change wheel studs?

I was planning to do the same (like to preserve the stock look of the car... at least for now) only droping it a little with the Tein H springs.

 

No I didn't have to change the studs on the 10mm or 5mm, although both came with new studs I was able to tighten the rear down enough turns that I am confident the wheels are on.

One recent development I did have was on the front.... the car seemed fine around town but when I went on a raod trip I got a bunch of vibration. I took the front spacers off for my return trip and the vibration was gone. Supposidly the H&R I bought are hub centric, but someone else told me I had the symtoms of using nonHub centric, so I don't know. I haven't had time to trouble shoot, and the 5mm are off the car for now.

 

this is why im not crazy about spacers....

 

I agree, however next to a stock Sport, the difference is night and Day,, look good to me, but you are right. Finding the right way to get them to work is tough. At least the back are fine in my case.

 

I just read your last couple posts and you say you did not have to change the studs with the 10MM? I was considering doing the same with my 10mm spacer but when I tried to tighten the lugs down it was way short of what is recomended and safe. I would consider the longer studs for the 10mm if I were you man. I have read some stories over on Driver of people almost killing themselves doing it your way.
