So... Lets pretend I have 300hp.
Lets also pretend I have upwards of 255 tire... Is there anything wrong with running bolt on spacers?? I want to run at least a 1in if not 1.5in spacers on the front and back of my car... If I went with bolt on spacers, It would be much cheaper and much easyer... I havent really found any through stud spacers of more than 1in on ebay.... Anyone have any oppinions?? |

It's your car...but bolt on spacers are "typically" the cheap ass way to do the job. "Most" bolt on spacers are used to change bolt patterns....the 5x130 to 5x130 Porsche spacers that are bolted on "tend" to be higher quality.....the four lug VW/914 to five lug one are good way to die....
I prefer to do the job right and not have to unbolt ten freaking studs to get to the brakes.....longer studs with SLIP on spacers is the proper way to do it in my opinion..... |
