Which brand spacers are those and are they both 20mm for the front and rear? Did you have to roll your fenders so they do not cut into tires on the bumps? Thank you.
Thanks, they are the Ichiba V2 spacers and yes they are 20mm all around. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the G37 fenders are rolled from the factory. Either way they still don't come close to rubbing on them. The only thing that rubs is the rear bumber bracket so I trimmed it back with a dremel.

Absolutely LOVE it! Now that I have the full catback it's possibly the best thing I've done on the car.

Thanks for the info I have one more question Did you have to install extended studs for the spacers or they are fine with the stock ones?

That depends. If you're going with very small spacers (like 5mm), then you simply slide the spacers over the existing wheel studs. If you want something like a 20mm spacer, you have two options: You can either buy a kit that comes with longer studs to replace the stock studs (because the stock studs will not be nearly long enough) or you can buy a spacer that bolts on to the stock studs and has a second set of studs that you use to attach the wheels.

If I were buying 20mm spacers, I'd definitely install longer studs instead of using a spacer that bolts to the stock studs and then has a second set of studs for the wheels.

Correction, I guess they are the extended studs, but they are the version 2 ones that have the studs built into the spacers.

So do you have any wobble or anything with these? Only reason im asking is becasue Ive got aftermarket but I run stock in winter and dont really want to put on loger studs because they wont work with my summer wheels with no spacers.

Nope, they are hubcentric and I also put the copper crush ring on them to eliminate any wobble.

Nothing happened to them. They are still painted, it's just a light smoke. I'm thinking about making them a little darker. For the splitter I'm actually thinking about the autokits X lip right now. I've been considering painting the valence too. Heres a little photoshop i did the other day.

Old thread I know. Buy how come you drop looks lower then dam near all the other Eibach drops I see in pics. Is it because of the spacers giving it a different stance?

I am not sure. It could be the spacers, or the wider tires (275 rear 245 front). Or just a combination of both.
