I did have camber bolts fitted as i bought the springs from GT101 and they recommended them. Really no expert in these matters

Me neither hence all my obvious to some questions! Looks like I need to track some bolts down then. Cheers

Did you need to cut the studs??

No, I just had the rear of the wheels drilled 3mm :thumbsup:

Who did them?
Did they do it whilst you waited?

Eibach 25mm spacers all round with Eibach Sportline springs. More pics will be in my build thread in a bit. Very happy with how it looks and I'm pleased to have removed wheel arch gap.

Looking good [MENTION=13930]RobMJ[/MENTION] - I'm also fitting Eibach 25mm all round tomorrow night, but without the lowering springs. Will post up some pics tomorrow.

Did you paint your Spacers black? I've primed mine today with etch primer, going to paint them black in the morning. I didn't want to risk seeing the silver through the wheels. Or you reckon you can't anyway? we have same alloys

Look forward to seeing your pics.

No not painted them, the inner part of the brake discs is the same silver in colour as the spacers so they actually work well. You have to be up very close to even see there are spacers on. So in my opinion they don't need painting at all.

I guess I should've actually looked behind the alloy before going ahead and painting them! Oh well :headbonk:

Will be fine either way I think. I didn't even think about painting them :eyebulge:
