Pics of CSL with Spacers
Does anyone have any images they can upload of a CSL with spacers fitted - ideally 13mm/15mm or even 20mm??
|
I've got 10mm spacers on the fronts (to clear the BBK), but I am having trouble loading up photos at the moment.
When I get that sorted, I will do. |

Thanks everyone, esp David and Shimmy - great pics and give me exactly the idea i was looking for.
Quick question - would i be able to get away with running 20mm spacers on OEM csl wheels both front and rear with standard suspension settings. If so, will i need to roll out the arches?? |
What gains to you get fitting spacers....apart from the looks does it improve handling as the wheels are pushed out or is it just looks.
|
it improves stability, the gavity center play less around better handling
but only on dry, on wet you have to remove spacers and ajust the suspensions setting, softer coilovers and release play on swaybars |
Theres been quite a few people who have advised me that it will not do much if anything to the handling - and obviously they will put extra stress on certain parts over time - i am doing it purely for aesthetics to bring the wheels out into the arches more - but if it has a huge negative effect on handling then i will remove them. Im wanting to go to 20mm spacers front and back - but i need to know whether i will get away with this in terms of clearance etc???
|
IMO looks just right with the 12mm setup.
What do they look like close up? It used to really annoy me on my old M Coupe that the hub part of the brake discs corrode, making the spacers look really obvious. |
