As above I have a 2013 c63 and have ordered some Bilstien B16 coilovers, I'm sorry if this has been touched on before but do any of you guys know if I will get away with running 10mm H&R spacers front and rear. I don't want arch fouling issues ! I have the 19" multi spoke with conti rubber. Pics of lowered cars on these wheels with or without spacers if you have them please guys
Are you running stock sizes? Front should be fine with a 12 or even 15 mm. Rear with a 255 should be ok with a 10 mm. 265 will probably rub. I'm lowered on H&R springs and run a 12 mm up front with plenty of room with a 235
This is completely dependent on how low you want to go.
At stock height, you can probably go 12 in the front and 10 in the rear. I'm at 10 and slightly rub in the front. I'm at 5 in the rear and couldn't go any more aggressive if I'd like to do to how low I am.
Yes I'm stock sizes tyre wise, I guess I'll fit the coilys, see how she looks and go from there, I'm surprised to hear to catch on the front as it seems everybody suffers that on the rear!
AFAIK Roswell is the authority on lowering and spacers... not sure what his findings were, but if you search this forum for "Roswell" and "spacers" you should find plenty of info. I think that he only has (had?) them on the front with the multispoke 19s.
I'm at stock height, have a Canadian APX car (which sits 10mm lower than the P31 US cars), have 19x8.5" front rims with 245/40-19 PSS and 12mm spacers (with 40 mm bolts of course) and there is no rubbing whatsoever ever under cornering or trail braking into a turn during track use.
Here are some pics of the car under heavy cornering loads - again, there's no rubbing:
