SMA8L

On the advice of Liam ( Der Kimbo) I purchased a set of H&R 20mm DR series spacers last week. I am thrilled with the visual effect and handling upgrade that they offer.

OK, in these images the optic is subtle. But in reality the car has a much stronger stance now that the lateral edge of the wheels are in line with the outside edge of fender arches, instead of the wheels deeply set inside the wheel wells. If I had to do it again, I would use 20mm on the front and 25mm on the rear - I did not realize that the stock rear centerline width is 14mm narrower than the front.

Thanks Kimbo. I'm stoked on the new look and ride. It's the best $300 I've spent on this car.

On most of the cars the rear is always narrower, than the front.

What would the negatives be with this mod?

well if you use really big spacers 60mm+ your call will look like it has roller skates for wheels:-)
