Anyone running spacers with H&R springs? my springs have settled and its pretty low now. don't think 20mm spacers will be a problem but the front tread is pretty much in the arch as it is so don't think it will be a good idea for the fronts.
Do any of you run just the rear spacers?
Should be fitting NS2R's in a month so that will no doubt make a difference to what I can fit spacer wise too.

Re: spacers with H&R
I ran 25mm rear spacers with fk springs, which I think are as low as h&r's, with no issue's.
Fronts are a different story. I put 20mm spacers on the front and it was undriveable. It kept scraping the arch liner and wore a hole through it.

Re: spacers with H&R
What front spacers did you end up with? or did you just run none up front in the end. Looks like 20mm should be fine ( maybe 15mm as the NS2R's run wider that normal tyres )

Re: spacers with H&R
I ran 15mm with Msport suspension and on fast roads bottoming out, the tyres used to catch at the front of the arch on the plastic inner. Cleared the outer arch ok.

Re: spacers with H&R
hmmm, i'm not too fussed on getting the rears out more but it does look better. The new tyre run wide so i'll need to see once they are fitted.

Re: spacers with H&R
Yeah I just ran none up front. Keep thinking about putting some 10-12mm spacers on to try them out.RLFILMSCO wrote:What front spacers did you end up with? or did you just run none up front in the end. Looks like 20mm should be fine ( maybe 15mm as the NS2R's run wider that normal tyres )

I actually like the rears flush and the front tucked look so good to know just rears was fine to run.

Re: spacers with H&R
ive fitted my rear H&R springs (still waiting on spring compressors to arrive to do fronts) and im running rear 25mm spacers with 108s and there isn't much room at all and had a slight bit of rubbing, not too worried atm as I know im getting new wheels very soon, also never had any spacers up front and always hated how sunken in they looked so defo gonna be looking into a new set of spacers once all springs are fitted and settled and new wheels are on

Re: spacers with H&R
If your settles anything like mine has, there isn't much room at all in the front as the tread is in the arch as is so i reckon even 15mm will rub on front lip of liner pushing hard. I need to wait for the NS2R's and then see what room I have. Still tempted on 19's but sticky rubber is winning right now.
