Default H&R Spacers

Anyone know where I can get a pair of 25mm spacers for the GS? I know Option Auto Salon does, but anywhere else?

Who has experience with OptionAuto?

Anything else needed to make spacers work on a GS? thanks!

I've had nothing but great experiences with Options Auto Salon. Prices are always lower, fast shippers, and service is great.

They are direct bolt-ons. Nothing special at all. The slide over the existing wheel studs, and have their own studs as well.

I'm unaware. Shoot them a quick email or phone call. A live person answers - happened to me today.

I purchased my 20mm spacers from them and it only took 2 days for delivery. I was told the 25mm were on backorder. I too have only had good experiences with them. I'm completely happy with my spacers.

How much? And with spacers, it does give more clearance for bigger brakes, correct?

they do, but a few here have mentioned the handling gets funny...very important to a sicklex. i'm guessing others that don't report odd handling probably don't handle it enough


dex, you said the slide right over the studs, yet have their own studs. so how does the spacer attach itself to the car? and the 15mm spacer is even more interesting by design, isn't it? please clarify

I've never had any handling differences but positive ones. I DON"T have them in the front.

Notice in this pic: the spacers slide over the existing wheel studs through those holes you see, they then are secured by their own nuts to the hub.

THEN, the wheels bolt onto the spacer studs. Get it?
