    ECS 17.5 mm Spacer Review

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    A little nervous since I saw some bad reviews about ecs spacers, but I just installed them tonight and I love the look it gave, took her for a test drive, hit 105 with no wobbles or shakes. Handling feels a bit better too which is nice.

    See yall at waterfest tomorrow, ill be getting APR stg 1

    I Installed ECS 15mm yesterday, i haven't been for a proper drive to work yet. But for the 6 mile drive, i hadn't noticed any issues.

    The car feels a bit more firmer on the ground, but that could also be the front strut brace i installed as well.

    Id probably go H & R for future suspension and wheel products

    I have put on around 8000 miles on their 18" flush kit and around 5000 with their 19" flush kit when I changed wheel sizes and experienced no issues. Make sure you clean the hub of any rust or other junk and they fit perfectly.

    I just picked up their 18" 17.5mm spacers. Do you have a drop at all? I have a B12 kit I'm waiting to install along with them.

    ive been running 10, 15, and 20mm pairs on the car (obviously not all at the same time) for my winters. Zero issues, yea they are probably the China-Special, but for something like this, as long as they are balanced, they are fine.

    No drop yet, let me know how that kit works out for you. I am thinking of doing a 1 inch drop at least nothing crazy.

    Ive been running the same set for about 3 months now with my stock 18". I have the flush kit spacers 17.5mm all around with H&R OE springs. Car rides great, no rubbing, and lots of stability.

    Wheels were painted black at the time but this might give you a perspective
