Anyone recommend any? Need 25mm front and 15mm rear. Hub centric.

Fire away with the links and recommendations.

Same here. Not sure whether to go 25mm front & 21mm rear as I have or 25mm all round but need to buy some regardless...

Anyone know which ones Modurstang use?

15mm rear, 23mm front!

I think anything more than 15mm in the rear can risk poke, 15mm is spot on and being 15mm means its the lighter slip on and safe type spacer.

For the front 25mm is spot on. :)

Thanks Gibbo, that really is a great shot to show the stance! Did you get yours online? From what I know it's about ÂŁ100 for a pair, but no idea what brand or which ones are best?

Buy Eibach ONLY!

15mm is slip on type, comes with longer studs, fit in the rear!

25mm is bolt-on type, fit in the front. :)

Or just fit 15mm all round and except the fronts won't be flush.

I've got 21mm rear with no poke, and the spacers were easier to fit than the 15mm

Mikes 21mm Rear are perfect IMHO, also they require less of the studs to be taken off than 15mm. No poke, however I would not wish to go any wider.

25mm front and 21mm rear :headbang:. With lowered springs!!

You do not take anything of the studs with 15mm.

15mm are slip on spacers, supplied with longer studs, as such they are superior as they weigh less and of course of safer.

Bolt-on spacers are heavier and not as safe, this is what Mike uses and all spacers over 15mm are the bolt-on type. I personally dislike though, though I did use this design on the front of my car without any issues.

I did play it safe however, the spacer on the front was installed with blue loctite and torqued to 120lb/ft (spacers cannot go higher, they crack), I then also torqued the wheels to 120lb/ft as well and no the recommended 148lb/ft simply because of the spacer being at 120lb/ft.

If I could of got away with 15mm all round I would of done so, less weight and safer. But 15mm on the front still sits too far within the wheel arch, whereas 25mm is pretty much perfect on the front.
