Hey, right now I'm on Eibach spacers, 15mm front and 20mm rear with a 1" drop all around. So far they are holding up, but then again I haven't had them on for long. The only down side that is noticeable, is that the turning radius isn't as good.

I would recommend you not get spacers if you are planning to track your car.

there's nothing wrong with spacers if done right and with the right products...

+1 KJ

I've got 15mm on the rear and 5mm on the front... Under normal to spirited driving I have no complaints. Since I haven't tracked the car; realistically this isn't much of a track car anyways; I'm not super concerned.

Question Looking for H&R spacers

I've relentlessly researched this topic for the last couple of weeks and alas I've decided to add spacers to give my ride a more aggressive "stance". I thought about trading/selling my wheels and acquiring a wider wheel size (i.e. 9.5,10)setup but that's an option I'm not really considering.

I am really interested in H&R spacers but I'm having problems deciding between a reputable website seller to go with.

Any recommendations from those of you that are currently running the H&R's or any other spacers for that matter? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the input Scion202 but I was hoping for a more specific source. I'm not finding anything on H&R on any of the websites I've visited including ebay and amazon... I could find plenty on Ichiba V1 and V2 including some referances to Eibach but nothing close the specs the TC2 has for H&R. I'm somewhat at a stand still so I'll keep looking.

I got my Eibach's from this site http://www.lowriders.ca/SearchResult...+spacers+toyot

I'm over in Canada so it took about 2 weeks for them to ship it to me. Ended up going with 20mm

Thanks for the link kevin_t9. I see that this company is based out of Canada so I wonder what additional shipping charges would be applied if I ordered from them. I will be emailing them to get further info.

Im totally new to spacers, so sorry for noobie questions.

Im looking to buy 5mm-10mm spacers if there are any othethere, I was wondering is it safe to put them on? I would rather go with wider wheels, but since Im leasing the car, dont feel like buying new rims but spacers would be handy.

thnx

I've had 15mm and 20mm eibachs for about 2k miles and no problems whatsoever. imo 15/20 spaces the stock wheels the best.

I'll post pics if anyone wants to see.

Please do post pics. Cuz I feel like tc2 could use a bit wider rims for a better look. Also, hows the "turning radius"?

thnx

They're not overlays, they're called VHT Red nightshade.

And the turning radius is a bit worse, but nothing major. The looks more than make up for it! :D

Put the bigger, wider wheels with the correct offset on and do it right! The car will handle great and look good too...
