Spacers
 
I purchased the Ichiban spacers (15mm front and 20mm rears). Can I get them installed with the stock springs or should i wait until I get the Eibach springs? I know it's going to save me some labor to get it done together but I'm curious to see how they look on the car now!

you can put them on now.

if you are doing it yourself then do it, if you are paying someone the do the at the same time you may save a couple of bucks, but spacers are not complicated so do them, get those wheels moved out.

Sure...Put em on. Here's 15/15 on stock springs...

Hey Mod do you think 20 inch spacers in the front would make the front look awkward? Why did you go with 15's in the back?

20 inch spacers would look extremely funny

maybe 20 mm might work better :)

from the above picture 20 mm spacers will probably work if dropped but the 15's look good stock height

Lol. Snap. My bad... that would look funny. I didn't realize I typed that. Gotta stop trying to two things at once. Thats what I was worried about using 20's in the front. I think Ill use spacers till I can drop it and get some new wheels.

At what size do spacers become a safety hazard. I am new to all this by the way.

They don't if designed correctly and made of good materials. Back in the day (70's) Porsche used multi inch spacers on their race cars with no issues..

After installing the front spacers (15mm), I noticed the steering wheel didn't seem as tight when making turns. Is it normal? It handles well but it just feel less responsive.
