What have you done to your P5 today?

[Circuit]

I know H&R makes hubcentric spacers for our cars. Also found this company, http://www.ichibausa.com/ , and they include extended studs.

installed my BC coilovers today...all i can say is awesome! installed my msp wheels and azenis too!

Endlinks are fun, eh? lol

Today I drove her approx 600 miles to hang out with the NEPOC crew and wash the car. While I was there I re-painted and re-sealed my headlights and helped Bazooka Joe with some endlink issues. Ok, I held the light.

Also came home with some Tokico Illuminas and Eibach Prokit's in the hatch! Thanks again Mark!!!

any recommendations on where to get them? 10 might be to much...5?

Well the offset is +55 mm. The problem I had with the MSP wheels is if my alignment got bad the fronts would rub on the inside. The same would happen to the rears if heavily loaded and going around corners and over bumps. I've literally rubbed two holes in the rear inner fender liners because of this. 5 mm spacers would easily fix the issue and you'd have no possibility of rubbing at all. 10 mm would put the offset at +45 mm, which from what I've discerned is the limit you can go with just lowering springs without having to roll fenders, etc. Because you have coilovers you can run a lot more negative camber so more aggressive offsets can be used but again, after a certain point fender rolling will be required. Once I get coilovers I'll probably pick up some 1/8" spacers for my RPF1s and run just enough negative camber to clear the fenders with no rubbing or rolling.

well someone had to do the hard part (holding the light...haha) hey, hope you can use the them...or just the springs!
oh and please thank the wife for the great dessert!(2thumbs)

interesting info...my fenders are already rolled so no issue there...i should decide on the spacers before getting an alignment i guess?

I actually just ordered some decals from Jackelope on the other forum. They look like they were on there when I bought the car though.

The fogs are just overlays. None other than bluebatmobile
