Default Stasis+Spacers

Is anybody running Stasis successfully with spacers? I have Stasis installed, ride slighly higher than Stasis-recommendations for aggressive street setup. 10mm spacers x4. Looks fenomenal, but rubs in fast corners, at least in the front. Maybe I need 5mm spacers for the front? Thanks.

I would ask the guys at Stasis rather than us, if you wan't the correct answer.

Default i could not make them work on my car

My guy who works on my car said the following:

"They fit but they were not hubcentric. This could cause a vibration because the wheel is only supported by the lugbolts and not a centering ring on the hub."

Default Details inside...

Our suspension does not affect wheel offset or backspacing. We do not change any pick up points or geometry with our STaSIS Ohlins kit. If a wheel or spacer rubs with our kit installed it will probably rub with the OEM set up if compressed to the same point.

A 10 mm spacer is certianly pushing the tire outwards pretty far and I would guess that it will rub under compression. You might try having the spacers turned down to 8 - 5 mm, that would be ideal.

As Mike said, make sure the spacers are hubcentric, otherwise there is potential for vibration.

DO NOT mix different spacers front to rear, that will change the balance of the car drastically. You may get negative handling as a result.

Default Thanks for the info

and the warning about the front-rear mismatch. I was about to try that. However: I think that Craig Lieberman runs 5 front and 10 rear.

BTW: Did I receive a Stasis badge like the one in your signature with the suspension?

So can I get spacers that fit the car? Or did we order the wrong ones?
