Zeezeebaba Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 After an off the cuff decision yesterday to purchase some hubcentric spacers of a forum member I fitted them this morning. Having heard all the nay sayers doom and gloom I wasn't going to buy any but sod it.Apart from the aesthetics which have been improved no end the car actually drives much better. Steering at maneuvering speeds feels lighter probably due to scrub but otherwise the car feels more planted. It was a bit of a pain torquing up the fronts and I ended up using a spare tool I had to wedge the rotor against the ground but nothing damaged and all good.

Stan Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Good choice, I went for 20/15 so they don't stick out too much. Also had the same issue torquing up, had to use a socket extension bar wedged between 2 bolts and the caliper in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny B Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I could be missing the point here, but can you not just get somebody to put their foot on the brake whilst you tighten the spacers on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
