Here's a few pics of Macht Schnell spacers 15f /10r.
I bought them from EAS, Tom was great as he fixed a problem I had with the spacers and was very professional with replacing them. Great vendor to deal with.

Macht Schnell 15/12 is a great combo.
we offer H&R or the Eibach springs and the H&R is a great drop if you want slammed without going coilovers and the Eibach for a little more conservative look.

I have 15F/12R Macht Schnell with Eibach and I feel it gives the perfect look if you still want the car to look stock. The H&R and RDSport lower the car too much to pass for stock, and anything > 12 in the rear also won't pass for stock. You could probably go wider in the front but you probably don't want to alter the difference between the front track and rear track too drastically from stock.\
Depends on what look you want - I was after the subtle aggressive rather than the all out aggressive look...when I get a chance I'll post up some pictures... In terms of handling, car feels more planted and turn in is more positive, definitely better IMO. Haven't noticed anything with turning circle either. Haven't had any issues with the spacers at speed either, as long as they are installed correctly and you use a top brand like Macht Schnell, all good... |

We have started an archive of different spacer setups here: ▀▄ eas - Macht Schnell wheel spacer reference thread http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262054 This should aid a bit in the decision making.

i am running 15F/15R Rogue spacers on RD Sports with OEM 18"s. if i were to do it again, i would do 18F/15R. 10R is WAYYYY too tucked and 12R still looks like it's missing something.
as a side note, under heavy cornering, if i hit a big dip mid corner, the rear will rub if i'm not on medium or full stiff EDC setting. perfect setup is 18mm front / 15mm rear.

Just an update. While I thought that there was no evidence of rubbing on the rear fender, I was wrong. The OEM 19" tires do actually rub on the plastic liner towards the rear of the rear fender with the 12mm spacer. This only happens rarely when the rear suspension is fully compressed, but it does happen. I suppose the 10mm spacer wouldn't cause any rubbing at all. I know some people have the 15mm spacers on the rear but that will definitely rub on the plastic liner.

^ Thanks for the update.
------------------------------------------------------- I went through giving a lot effort to see if I should go with springs and spacers.......But it turns out that I'm most likely gonna keep the suspension stock. The reason: I feel that the stock suspension is brilliant, and I don't want to mess with it. I do feel tempted to go with springs/spacers, but I've learned that they are purely cosmetic. With that said, I will mess with the stock exhaust, software, shifter......But probably not the suspension. That's my update for the time being. |

I understand that the average driver will not even notice this especially on public roads, but it can tend to bother a 'sensitive' person like myself. |
