For you guys running spacers...question

bushman66 · 01-24-2012, 08:12 AM

OK thanks. That's a no-go with me, so I'll have to stick to the 15mm Fronts...

Its an easy fix though.

Yeah...don't really want to roll the fenders. I used to do things like that back in the day. Now, I'd rather just forgo the extra 5mm...LOL

No need to roll. I'm not rolled

A little bit of negative camber or dropping to the next smaller tire size would probably cure any rubbing. I gotta ask though... Why are so many people afraid to roll their fenders?

From horror stories of guys using baseball bats and heat guns. Lol

I don't need to roll, but if I did know using a roller isn't hard and safe.

20/25 with H&R and NO rubbing in the front at all with close to OE camber and running 265's in front.

Unique_Z · 02-19-2012, 04:21 AM

^^ same stup as mine, 265/35 upfront and 285/35 rears. 20/25 combo and dropped on H&R springs. never have i had rubbing issue

ZForce · 02-19-2012, 09:35 AM

The stance with 25mm and 285/35 in the rear is perfect. Anything less just looks like....well, like nothing is happening. I am constantly complimented.

Yeah i agree with you bro, nothing beats a 285/35 with 25mm

ZForce · 02-19-2012, 11:50 AM

Very aggressive stance. Same setup as mine. RE11's ? Also like your blacked out rear valance....same here. Very sexy bro!

Thanks for the compliment bro

yup it's RE11, and actually i installed an Evo-R CF diffuser, it looks better than a blacked out valence imo

ZForce · 02-20-2012, 02:29 AM

RE11 are very sticky, only gonna see 12k mi thou, probably look at SO4's for next set. Will look into evo-r cf valance,thanks bro!

Just to throw it out there... I have the Z1 spacers and I get some slight extra tracking of the road. I wouldn't say it is "wrong" because I don't think there is any way a different design could impact the tracking but it is there... it isn't always noticable though and is never an issue.

Use bolt-ons for the front unless you're going more than 20mm or you want to shorten your studs.

Does H&R make a 7mm DRS spacer for the Z?
