That's what I planned on 25mm front and 30mm rear. Now I just have to choose whether I want to go with tanabe nf210s or tein cs.

HMMM really.. That almost seals the deal for purchasing the tein cs although I did not want to spend that much. What is the drop with the H&R's. You have any more pics?

You guys know where to get the 30mm spacers, I found them for 177.xx for the H&R's. Just wondering if anyone has found them for a cheaper price.

I just bought 20mm spacers (front) for $124 shipped, and 25mm spacers (rear) for $149 shipped through ebay. They are the H&R hubcentric ones as well. Didn't see 30mm on there.

i think you will need extended lugs with the 20mm spacers.

They may have been included...not sure. Here is what I bought:

and

Can you tell if the proper lugs, etc are included? I am rather clueless about spacers.

DRS series spacers fit between the wheel and hub, and require changing the existing wheel studs for longer ones (included)
you'll be alright.

here's a good read if you havent yet.

whazzzzuup- Sorry to bring back an old thread- but I wanted to say- YOUR CAR LOOKS FUGGIN AWESOME man!!!

I need to get rear spacers for my car, but I have the (Exact) rear RCA's installed so have exactly ZERO neg camber in the rear (it's literally 0.0%- which is slightly MORE positive camber than stock) AND I'm running 245/45's on the stock 17's.... I don't want them to rub. Do you think I'd still be okay with 20mm or even 25mm spacers in the back ?

Front has 15mm spacers already installed and with the SAGE Front RCA's (30mm drop) and the 245/45's it is rubbing the fender wells... Ahhhh...

Why can't this be easier ? lol

15mm FRONT + 15mm REAR...SHOULD BE "COOL" ! BUt noooooope!

Let me know if you can, guys...

Thanks very much!

HEY...RI-Lex- (sorry to revive an old thread) But I could REALLY use your help brother!!!

First of all...NICE CAR! lol, I have the same exact car... Beige Metallic 2GS with the 17" wheels, AND I'm ALSO running 245/45's on them!!!

I have the [EXACT] 20mm RCA kit installed in the rear, and [SAGE] 30mm RCA's installed up front... so the car is lowered a tad. With only 15mm spacers installed up front though, the tires are rubbing the fenders over large bumps...

SOOOO, my question for you is- Did you mod your fenders at all in the back ?
And did you 245/45's clear just fine with the 30mm spacers???

IF YOU CAN LET ME KNOW ON THIS I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
The rear wheels being SOOOO sunk-in, is driving me crazy! ha
