I tend to stay away from spacers because I try and stick as close to stock as possible for wheel offsets...go too low in the front in offset (or add too thick of a spacer) and you'll lose some steering feel. on CERTAIN cars you'll prematurely wear down your bearings by going too low on offset

I'm down for a drive soon! Can we do it this Sunday around 8 am in independence at the autox course? I'm really wanting to see more 370s out there!

I would be game for a drive in 2 weeks. The weekend of Halloween would be cool. I was going to TX that weekend but bought the car instead.

The race would of been worth it....the car will always be there.

On a side note, now that I have minute, is anyone going to COTA next weekend? If so, hit me up. I will be driving the car down to the race.

If everything goes well and stays the way it's moving I'm up for meeting up in 2 weeks (weekend after Halloween)



Not CODA but COTA (for those who do not follow F1...Circuits of the Americas in Austin, TX)

Well... Good news is my car is on the coilovers. Bad news I didn't get to order my spacers in time. So I am still looking. Do you guys think the Z1 spacers are good enough? Don't feel like forking over another extra $100 for spacers when Z1 has 20/25 (hub centric) going for about $220 with shipping.

I found hub centric spacers on Amazon for $56/pair. I put them on yesterday and they are great. Very good quality. They look just like the HR spacers and are designed just like them. They are so much alike, I think they are the same. I got mine in 20mm.
