Does anybody have experience with garage line spacers? Are they any good? Are they worth buying?

Spacers from different brands are relatively all the same. They really break down into two types, Type I or the Extended lug with slip on spacer, and Type II that the spacer has lugs built into it and you bolt it on to the wheel hub, and bolt the wheel to the spacer.

There are supporters of both types, and naysayers against both types. I have used the H&R and Z1 Type II spacers and have had zero problems. If installed correctly, neither will you. It's just good to make sure to have them torqued correctly. :tup:

Thanks I'm gonna do some more research I normally don't run spacer but the gap is bugging me. Any suggestions on what size to run with the stock 2013 rays on eibach springs?

With Eibachs?? Hmm... I'm not sure on that one. When are you getting them installed?

When I had my stock wheels (not lowered) I went 20mm all around and it was nice.


I would recommend, (if you can wait till this lol) get your springs installed, then after a week so the springs can settle (unless you're buying them used), use a tape measure from the edge of the wheel out. And looking down over the fender take a note of how sunk in the wheels are. .5 inch, 1 inch, 1.5 inches etc. Then simply convert that to mm and get the closest __mm spacer you can.

I will say though after installing them, it is highly recommended to get a set of rear camber arms and toe bolts so you can bring the alignment back into spec as the OEM arms don't have enough adjustability.
