Does anybody know who has the H&R's in stock and at a good price?
I have an order in with Stillen, but my estimated delivery date just changed from the beginning of march (now) to mid-april. :(

What I'm looking for:
H&R TRAK+ Wheel Spacers (HR4065663)
20mm

Thanks

I have to disagree on that, especially if you stagger the rear.
With 20mm spacers in the rear and the front wheels with no spacers, my car is more prone to understeer.

Good point Josh, but yes, at the moment I really want the DRM's.

this is true. playing with offset is like the icing on the cake for suspension setup.

Very true but I don't think he was talking about a setup with such an extreme between the front and rear.

Old thread, but pretty useful. Has anyone ever tried wider in the front, like 20F/15R for reducing understeer? Since it sounds like the standard 15/20 or 20/25 would increase understeer. Or perhaps 20/20?

I have been running the 15/20 combination for about two years now. No noticeable changes, think of this as an inexpensive appearance mod.

If you are trying to fine tune the oversteer/understeer situation, I am a big fan of Stillens adjustable sway bars.

I recently installed 15MM in the front and 20MM in the rear. My Z is lowered on the Eibach Pro kit and the fitment is perfect.

Check it out here.

For non-lowered cars, 15mm front and 20mm rear will make the top of the tire even with the fender.

For my car, which will be lowered when my swifts get here, the 20mm front and 25mm rear are perfect. The camber coming in will make them perfectly flush.

Anyway, yeah.

Post pics!! Please !
