How’s Your Stance?
H&R Wheel Spacers: Go Wide
I wanted to lower my car’s coilovers a bit, but the guys at Group2 Motorsports could only drop it down to a certain point or my wheels wheels would rub the suspension. They suggested looking into wheel spacers to solve the problem, which would also improve handling and aesthetics by offering a slightly wider stance and somewhat more balanced look.
After browsing through a few online stores, I found Achtuning was having a month-long sale on all H&R, and Dion from Achtuning also posted an announcement in the VWVortex PacNW forum that they were offering an additional 10% off for a few days. Perfect!
I went with 5mm spacers up front and 15mm spacers for the rear. The wheels will sit just up to the edge of the fenders, giving the car’s stance a more solid look (and feel), improved handling, and the option to take the coilovers down a few notches.
The spacers will be installed shortly, so stay tuned!
