don't get 5mm, they're not hubcentric. ecs tuning, and yes you need bolts.

Default So 10mm front and back shouldn't be a problem (especially with stock tire sizes)?

ECS is out of stock until the end of the month. I was hoping to put them on on the 29th.

Hmmm... anywhere else?

Default H&R are basically the same. I have 10mm ECS spacers f&r. I think the front pokes out jjjust

a bit compared to the rear. Imo 8mm in front would be perfect. Would that make the car understeer more by having a wider track on the rear? In principle I think it would but probably not noticeable to the average Joe.

The drivers side rear tire rubs ever so slighty on the well liner when the suspension is compressed at the near limit. I've noticed that the liner on that side is not attached as tightly as the passenger side so it may not even happen on your car if you choose 10mm spacers back there.

I think ECS is selling the H&R spacers.

Default I have 10mm MTM front & back...

...Joe usually has in stock, accepts Paypal, and you'll have in a few days...jus send him an email.

I prefer the MTM spacers over H&R.

Also, required bolts (based on spacer size) are included.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hoppenmotorsport.com/Audi.RS4.B7.MTM.items.htm">CLICKY</a></li></ul>
