sipar69 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've seen a lot of references to spacers - I've got an idea of what they are but not really sure what benefits they bring.....? If I decided to get some can anyone recommend a good set for the 370? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 They are purely cosmetic, they just make the stance of the car wider and make the wheels fill the arches better. Not sure about the 370z but they actually detract from the handling on some cars by increasing the scrub radius of the front wheels. I can see why people do it on the 350, but i've never looked at a 370 and though 'that needs spacers'. Each to their own though. Try Tarmac and CS for getting hold of some DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Eibach spacers in stock for 350Z and 370Z Drop me a pm if I can help you further. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Purely cosmetic so the wheels line up with the arches. One thing I remember ebized mentioning however was that spaces increased the number of stone chips he found along the sills. Best pm him though.

sipar69 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Thanks. Doesn't really feel like it will add much to the car then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone chips happen anyway mate without spacers, I've got a set of Eibachs on and it definitely improves the look/stance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I can see why people do it on the 350, but i've never looked at a 370 and though 'that needs spacers'. I'm of the same opinion, although I think the rears do need something. I'm tempted by some 20mm at the rear and leaving the front alone on mine. Personally 20mm is too much on the front for me and any less and you need to swap the lug/bolts over for new longer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Of course all mods are a personal thing, personally I think the wheels on a 370, even 19" are lost in the arches. These pictures were before it was lowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quan Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The G Man, What size spacers are fitted in those photos? And is that on completely stock suspension? Thanks, - Quan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Those are Eibach 25mm front and rear, as I said, that piccy was before I stuck the Eibach Pro springs on. PM , he supplied both mods No, I'm wrong, just noticed the Eibach decal on the sill, that's lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
