Anyone Running Spacers?

[Tripe46]

I'm considering the ECS "flush" spacer kit, does anyone have it? Any reason they spacers are larger in the rear than in the front?

You pasted the wrong link, dremel tool won't fit your wheels ;)

I have 10mm up fornt and 13mm rear. Could go more in rear. They were left over from my MK6 R so i used them. Rear needs more spacer to be flush than the front.

Haha thanks! Fixed!

Will larger spacers in the rear make it handle "funny", as its a square setup stock.

I went from a square stock setup on my A5 to adding 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear and it handled just as it did off the showroom floor. You shouldn't have an issue.

That's just how the body and stock offsets are- a larger spacer is required for flush fitment in the rear compared to the front.

No.

I run the ECS Flush kit.
Looks awesome, no difference in driving to be honest.. I wont tell you that "I think I felt *Insert BS here* after installing the spacers" because it does not.

Thanks for the responses, Imma get em'.

I just installed them, looks great. I probably wouldn't run a larger rear spacer if I was planning on tracking this car, but it's just a daily driver with occasional twisty use.

Personally, when I drove the car hard before installing the spacers, I found the "torque vectoring" feature to cause slightly unpredictable and weird oversteer (this could also be attributed possibly to the electronic steering). Kind of fun, but also just felt odd. While the spacers in the rear will cause more tendency to understeer, the torque vectoring might actually be balanced nicely.

I wasn't a fan of the wider rear spacers and squared it back up, but everyone is different and prefers different under/over steer feel.

I have em on my S3. the 17mm rear sits flush to the fender, but with my ride height it does rub under hard cornering, launching, and also with heavy loads in the back plus suspension travel. I am on KW V3s

i plan on just doing 10mm front and rear. if anyone has pics of this setup, please post. thanks.

also, do you guys think the ecs spacers are just as good as H&R spacers?

I've been running ECS ones for a week or so now, seem fine to me.

Hmm, I'm worried about this. A friend of mine threw a staggered set of wheels (no spacers) on his brz, and it felt awful particularly when changing lanes (overdramatic). Maybe I'll do 15mm all the way around. My main reason for getting spacers is to test out the look/feel because the wheels that I want only come in et35 (so+14mm).

What is yours, 10mm square?

Funny this came up because I'm looking to pick up some spacers. I plan to go with ECS 12.5 front/rear. From what I've read you don't want to go more than 15mm in the front. I don't want them pushed out too much and I just have a problem with staggered anything on non rear wheel drive cars. That's just me though. $200 is pretty steep for some metal discs though. Lol

Mine are 10mm, it wasn't a dramatic difference when non-square, but noticeable to me since I like getting a 4-wheel slide going sometimes.

Im running 12.5mm front and 15mm rear spacers. I have taken my car on a few twisty roads here and up north and didn't have any bad experiences. Disabled ECS and used manual shifting staying in 4th gear most of the time.
