Stance is much better Sanch. I also think a little lower on the front!
I really fancy doing mine for the look but the extra stress always concerns me especially with the roads around here!
EDIT: Tempting though!
EDIT 2: In fact so tempting that I've made some enquiries lol..

I know how tempting it is... I ordered these before I even got the car haha.
Ps: I've been driving around and I can tell you the ride feels the same, maybe 10-15% firmer. But I can just notice it! - I'm happy about that, my only concern was that I'd loose the ride quality. It's still far better than my old sedan lol

Wow Sanch looks great. I guess I will be getting the KWs also now. Who did you order the spacers from, and do they come with the longer bolts?
Cheers Shaun,

Good thing with the KW is you can play with the ride height to suit your needs. This is perfect for my daily any lower would be an issue.

i see, fair enough. don't you feel any vibration when driving with the spacers? Heard it might shake a bit (like when your car wheels are out of balance) if driving at higher speeds.

Obviously, if you're planning to track the car (which I'm not) it works perfectly fine.

As long as you get hubcentric spacers you will be fine and you will not get vibrations or shuddering.

Think I'm going ahead with H&R spacers 10mm rear and 12mm front. I've been in to see the chaps I've been emailing today. They suggested 10mm all round but the front just needed a little more imo.. I talked about springs but they thought it would be a step too far especially with me having the extra Edition 1 lip on the front. Will post pics if/when I get it done. We discussed the extra stresses/wear on the wheel bearings in particular but they didn't think there would be a problem with 10-15mm spacers and hadn't experienced any themselves.
