Well The backs have been on & running nice.

Liking how it looks. Not sure if I am going to do the fronts or not. Going to run just the backs for a while as it looks fine to me.

Plus I figure I don't need the fronts throwing road grime down the side if the car.

Thanks all

20mm on the front will throw crap on your car... 10-15mm should be ok

I disagree, especially if you are dropped at all. No sling issues whatsoever on 20mm's.

4.5 years, 55,00 miles and zero problems on my H&R 20mm's

I do suggest you check the torque specs on your lugs regularly though. I check them at least once a month

Z1 spacers, i had 20/25 (stud replacement in front) honestly forgot I had spacers except for when I would admire the flush ness.

Hotrodz · 01-11-2013, 09:01 PM

No issues for me. 15mm H&Rs all four corners and Tein springs! Go lo and wide and enjoy the ride!!!!

I am on powertrixs bolt-on 25mm rear and WAS on 20mm front. The vibration and handling was so bad that I recently removed the 20mm spacers from the front, and now it handles great. I miss the wide look in the front though =/ .

How long have you had the spacers?
I've been on the same combination of Powertrix 20mm in front and 25mm in the rear along with thier SS coilovers for close 2 years now without any issues.

Did you make sure to retorque the spacers after the first 500 miles?
Also its best to always check or re torque the spacers if the wheels come off for any maintence etc.

Regardless, I would contact Charles and let him kno what you are experiencing and im sure he will help/take care of you in one way or another.
