Default Spacer Update

Hey All,

Well just got the call from BBK company, and they where doing some testing and found that I required a LARGER spacer then originally thought. Now they are telling me the front wheels wont clear and need to bump the spacer up. To get complete clearance, they need around 12MM, but are now planning on going to 15MM.

Only reason they are stepping it up to a 15MM spacer/studs, is because some one asked for a 8 piston kit and they want to use my car again when the 8 piston prototypes are ready.

So again, do I have any safety issues to worry about?????

if you get the longer studs, i don't think 12 or 15mm make that much of a difference

weird, don't you have the hre already? i thought the front is high disk already. plus you already got some big brakes to begin with on the ls430. and you need 15mm more space to clear the 8 pots setup? that must be one big *** caliper
