Well I finally managed to get the new front brake discs and pads on and also the cars Eibach pro springs which make it 20mm front 10mm rear lower. Happy with the height now. I've also ordered some wheel spacers, 10mm rear 5mm front.
These wheels will stay on until the tyres are getting ready, then I'll swap them.20190607_101757.jpg

Has the Eibach springs affected the ride quality?
Ride quality is just as before which was fine :thumbsup:

Spacers will make it look even better. Do you scrape on road humps at all ?
I only scrape on the odd speed bump, mainly the odd single one that seems to be sticking up more than the others.

10mm and 5mm would mean you won't be running a hub centric setup.

However, with 12mm and 3mm you will.

Just thought I'd let you know. :thumbsup:

10mm rears are hub centric but your right the fronts on 5's are not but it's still got all 5 bolts in so will be fine :lol:

No, pretty certain 10mm is not hubcentric.. but yes, 5 bolts so :thumbsup: :driving:

Nope they are, I should know I put them on myself. 10mm spacer with two machined faces, one to go over the hub lip and then the lip on the face for the wheel to sit on.

The hub lip is 10-11mm so can't even imagine how that's possible. But fair enough. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I am also thinking of fitting set of Eibach Pro springs to reduce the ride height a bit. I was advised to go 12mm and 15mm hubcentric Spacers. ( but I did say I wanted a more Flush with wings look)

Are you happy with the Spacers sizes you mention OP, or wish you had gone bigger ?

No I'm happy with what it went with, and no rubbing.
At some stage I will be swapping the wheels but I'll still be going for as close as the stance it has now
 
Got these of springs on and spacers. Not got one without spacers sorry but I guess it would have looked like yours without them now.

Hmm....I wonder if the 12mm (F) and 15mm (R) I have been advised to get are going to result in "Poke" which wouldn't be ideal TBH.
