What do you guys think about them? I kinda want to get them to widen the stance of my car for better handling, AND I think it would look good too. Anybody have them?

depending on the size of the spacer, you may need longer studs too. the H&R spacer kit includes them so if you're planning on running spacers, i recommend getting their kit

cost depends on the size of the spacer. what are you dropped on and what rims? if you're on the stock 17's then depending on your drop, 15mm-20mm spacers would be good. i was looking at a 20mm for the front and 25mm for the rear but i'm dropped on stechs

I'm dropped on H-Techs, so i think there about 1.75 to 2 inch drop and I have the upgraded 18's through scion

how much gap is there between the fender and the tire wall? i'm thinking maybe 15mm all round should be good. do you have a profile shot from the front/back looking down the side?

edit: i looked in your profile...i think 15mm should be good to make the rims sit flush with the fender. anyone else this otherwise?

Not sure the gap between the tire and the fender. Those are the right wheels in my pics, but there old, those pics aren't of my car dropped. I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

they need to be hubcentric so they cost a little more since the tCs hub isn't as common as the audi hub i assume. make sure you get hubcentric spacers or you're gonna have vibrations at high speeds
