Finally fitted 20mm spacers all round
As title.
After the troubles I had trying to fit 15 mm I went for it with 20mm.
However,anyone else think its a bit much on the rear with standard alloys?
They're flush with the body and slightly shielded by the plastic spats but I'm not sure if 15mm would be more subtle. I still have the 15 but would need to do a few mods to use em.
Oh also fitted a new spoiler

Good point regarding paint!!
I've not been far yet but everything seems fine. From past experience I would say the steering feels a bit slower with spacers.
It's hard to separate real changes from imagined ones. A blind test would be better but of course impossible when you mod your own car.

How come you had a problem to install the 15mm , I have just installed them with 20" sentas and lowerd HR springs with no problems The only thing I had to do was cut off the non threaded ends on the studs,.
Instead of grinding the wheel, sherbercars was saying that you cut off a bit (the non-threaded part) of the OEM stud.
Correct. If you look at the back of the wheel after you mounted & dis mounted you will see where the ends of the studs ( bolts ) that hold the spacer on, have scored the inside of the wheel , just cut off the end of the stud , it is just there to help guide the wheel on into place .
