These are H&R springs lowering 35mm (with the sports package) as well as 20 mm spacers all around

Hi, this pic has been taken approx. 2 weeks after install, so I think they were settled at that point. The exhaust is from TRC ( http://trc-tuning.com/index_shop.htm). It had been installed too low (big gap on this pic). I raised it afterwards so now it is flush with the cut-out.

I really hope everyone with spacers are using extended studs dude! I see so many people using them and no ones saying a thing about it. I dont know why people dont just get wheels with the correct offset. No offense to you Letz. I hope youre using it as well.

The spacers are H&R too, my dealer installed them. After the drop they looked what could be done and I think the 20 mm are just right.

No rubbing till now, and I've already driven on some very bad roads since.

The spacers use a system called DRM (Don't ask me the meaning of that ). They have their own bolts and are just tied to the original ones with special nuts. The nuts then go into the cavities at the inside of the rim. These things are quite pricey but for the means of safety it cannot be too expensive. You're right buying correct offsets with aftermarket wheels, but with factory rims there's no choice.
Sorry, don't have a sound clip. I'll see how to make one and post it then.
eeeehhhmmm parkin' ? Yes inside the garage cause my wife didn' t allow me to take the car to the living room....
And who is Jim Jones??? A baller? Don't know that guy...but seems to be famous.
