That is why I left the front a little higher, I'll test it for a week. Hopefully it won't be too bad... I'll drop it a bit more upfront.

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,

Cheers Shaun,
Thank you, I'd recommend it. I have to check but I got it all done from my local shop here in Sydney.

Here are a few shots taken at the shop.

I think the ride height is perfect.

Looks spot on mate. The front looks fine in these shots. Still debating about doing mine. I'm leaning towards spacers only but haven't decided as yet.

Yeah it looks perfect mate, some pics make the front look higher than it seems. Any lower would cause lots of scraping loll

I'll reply to your DM now!

I don't think it's risky at all... Depends if you go too low.

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.

More easier to come by down under! Also, it's easier for me to swap these around as I like rather than having to buy new ones.

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.

Never heard of that before and never faced that problem. Might be cheap spacers lol...

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.

Wow. I've never given spacers any thought, but this definitely gives me food for thought. Thanks for sharing Sanch .

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.
