Are you doing this yourself or are you taking it to a shop? Personally I would lower the car first then measure for your spacers to get the perfect fit. It's not something i'd buy/order all at once. You may get it lowered and feel like it looks too aggressive, or maybe it's not aggressive enough. Can't stress enough how it can look completely different lowered just an inch. Don't fit your car based on some pictures of another car you saw online. You may even get it lowered and decide you don't need spacers.
Ultimately it's a lot of money to spend for mostly aesthetics, I'd take your time and make sure you get your stance and fitment dialed in perfectly. Figure out the up and down part first, then decide on the right and left.
How much do you think I should lower the front vs the back? I'm not entirely sure yet
I'm joining your post, actually I'm wondering exactly the same thing than you (One difference, I'm from France) !
At the moment, I bought news wheels : Vossen HF3 satin black 19" (Bottom picture)
I would like to install springs and spacers.
I checked up on differents website what others guys installed on their owned car and I've found definitely what I would like to do on mine.
Spacer 12mm on front and 15 on rear.
BUT.... one question is running... What kind of bolt should I buy ? The only thing I know is that we have to measure the stock bolt and had the thickness of spacers (To remind : 12 on front and 15 on rear).
That leads me to (25 + 12) = 37 FRONT -- (25 + 15) = 40 REAR
-----> AND actually h-r-shop does not propose me the following size --'
So, one idea maybe ?
The last thing I would like to ask you is, which size of sport springs would you choose ?
H&R spring -30 mm ? (maybe my personal choose...)
Nice car Bisontin . Sorry can't answer your question !
I am editing this .
Since you have aftermarket wheels , the thickness of the hub maybe different from the OEM wheels .
The best will be to see how much the OEM bolt stick out on your OEM wheels and try the OEM bolt on your Vossen and see if you get the same and go from there .
I bought bolt from Draft 42 , they were the only one selling black 60mm bolt . I am in the US but you may have more choice in EU .
Bonne Chance

Sorry just seeing this now but I'm installing everything on Monday... Lowering springs, 12mm spacers on the front, 15mm spacers on the back and a panamericana grill
I'll try and get a better pic later today, but I'm super happy with the results. Stance and width are awesome
I know this is late, but I am wondering what spacer size I should run for stock 18 inch wheel and suspension setup on a c43 sedan. I don’t plan on getting new wheels or lowering the car anytime soon, and I need a more aggressive look. I plan on getting 15mm for the front and 20mm for the back but I haven’t seen this done on stock springs with the 18 inch wheels. Could this be done or should I do 15mm all around, or even 12mm in the front and 15mm in the back. I don’t mind it sticking out ever so slightly as long as it doesn’t look crazy, just want less wheel gap and more aggression. Here’s current pictures of the car.
Also for those of you who have Eibach lowering springs, could you provide pictures.
