Joeycuz Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hi, just went to fit some Eibach spacers and can across a problem. Fronts are 20mm Rear 25mm The two sets are completely different. The rears simply go over the original studs, but the fronts came with a set of studs in the box. How do I fit the fronts?! Sorry for the poor description so here's a pic. Currently sat in my car on the drive half way through fitting in the pis$ing rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Warnes Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Drift out the existing front studs. Fit the new ones supplied, push the new stud into the hub using, place a lot of sturdy washers over the new stud then using a Nut (preferably an old one) tighten the nut until the stud is pulled firmly into the hub.

Joeycuz Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks for that. Is this normal then for 20mm spacers as it would of been a lot easier if it had the same design as the 25mm. I done the rears in ten mins, now the fronts look like a pain in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 They look like a multi fit spacer. Do any of the holes line up with your original threads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Send the fronts back to who ever you bought them from and get the proper Eibach spacers similar to your rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are normal and work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Warnes Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Eibach website shows two differing versions (system 4 with studs installed in spacer & system 6 with loose studs to be installed in hub) http://web2.carparts-cat.com/default.aspx?230=1&34=0,2047567&36=3792&35=0&32=17435&14=4&10=FAE3D757A29D4DDE8B15D7024B32B2B1279004&12=130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Much cleaner and easier with studs pre installed in spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
