Springs and spacers advice wanted

[Nati Beastcat]

Ok,

After a two week resting period its back to some light modifications. I don't plan on tracking this car so i'm probably not going with a coilover kit? Since its basically just for looks I want some thoughts on what springs and spacers to get? Currently running factory 18's but might upgrade to some type of 19" rim next year. Not looking for anything extreme where rubbing becomes an issue.

H&R, Eibach, Dinan, RD Sport ? what brand of spacer? is one spacer really better than another?

any photos you can attach of examples would be helpful.

kw sleeve kit...adjustable spring set....

spacer wise, I'm happy with my turner motorsport spacers..don't really think one is truely far better than another per say, I went with tms as pricing was great from acuteperformance and there is a dedicated notch along the edge of the tms spacers which will when trying to take the spacers off....

Thanks!

Just did a search on the forum for this setup. Really looks like the way to go for $900.

I got H&R springs with Macht Schnell spacers(10mm front and back),I really like the H&R drop, its not too low,but looks very nice!!

+1. You can't get wrong with the KW S/O kit.

In regards to the spacers, you should consider Verstrasse spacers, these utilize a unique pentagon-shaped design in order to minimize unsprung weight. Below is a pic comparing the VST spacer with a traditional rounded spacer.

This post is a bit misleading as difference is negligible, as its less than .1lb at hub centerline - the equivalent of 2 stick-on wheel weights.

OP: feel free to contact me directly if you should have any questions on spacers or fitment.
