Paul Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 I have 10mm front 15mm back... Has anyone fitted 15 MM all round or 15mm FRONT 10mm REAR ? im wondering if i should give my calipers more room just on offchance of something getting caught in that very small gap, and gouging the caliper/back of alloy.. ie stones etc...

Mo-S3 Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Hi Paul, looking at that teeny tiny gap iwould probably give it a few more mm's to play with. Seems a bit too close for my liking and chances are that something will end up in that gap and put a very pretty gouge in ur brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Spoke to Ales at AmD and they dont recommend 15mm on front incase of catching bodywork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I have 16mm spacers all round on mine...and the car gets driven hard...and never catches the arches. I have some negative camber added...but although the car is lowered and occasionally bottoms the engine undertray out, the tyres never contact the arches.

Nothing major though...I made sure the bumpstop lengths would see to that! (I hope!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the coil overs though...but their springs give a nice ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
