This might help but he has 20mm spacers...

That's funny I was just replying Max

Yeah I've got Ichaba 20mms on the rear. If your cars lowered you might have problems with rubbing which I did, in which case you can get someone like Arch Enemy to come and fold the inner lip up to stop this. Get a pro to do it because the paint needs to be heated up to stop it cracking. Slight negative camber helps too but you might be alright with 15mm to be honest.

Is it 15mm total track width, or is each spacer actually 15mm, thus making it 30mm further track width? :xhuh: I've always wondered. (sorry to hijack)

 

[mark2390]

Thanks. . 30mm total width, its lowered with frs and don't want to roll the arches.. they strong enough for track?

I beleive Bonson has 15mm Ichiba spacers all round and he's a track junkie. You just need to make sure you tighten them up well and check them periodically for a while as i beleive others have had issues with them but this has been down to not ensuring they were fitted correctly and checked periodically after.

Fancy being a guinea pig?

I'm not sure why you have an unhappy face. You won't find better IMO.

 

[mark2390]

Think it was the price difference! but not canceling going to keep the eibach's as they are known to be good

They are safe to use for road and track but take extra care not to the round the thin nuts on the spacer because they are nightmare to get off.

Remember using spacers will put more force on bearings so they may wear out quicker.

All Eibach components are TUV approved, which means they have been properly tested and are made from quality materials, yes you will pay more but you will get what you pay for. Last thing you want is a when falling off.

I have seen some of the cheaper Chinese and American ( stuff from the USA is generally far eastern too) spacers fail due to loads and impact on a couple of the off road race cars I have worked on just due to poor quality materials, when you compare these to eibaches you can see and feel a difference. Just because they are anodised a fancy colour and have a fancy brand doesn't make them any good,

That looks great, 15mm seems to have made a massive visual improvement.

Make sure you lock tight them on and they will be fine
Had some 15mm ichibas on my civic and that was abused on track loads ( even hit a wall at a 100 and the spacer didn't flinch)
