Those are no good due to built in second set of lugs and bolts. Get H&R 15mm spacers and 60MM bolts. The factory bolts are 45 MM so 15 + 45 = 60 mm.

Roll the rears and go 18 (get 63 mm bolts) or 21 MM (not sure how these work).

This is a minor but noticeable look and handling upgrade. Good luck!

Of course, there are many board sponsors that you should look into supporting. Same products.

Does it affect handling?

Anyone used these?

You should get the same lip, I thought I would have problems too but it really doesnt touch anything, if you drive carefully I would definately recommend giving it a try.

hey Ari,

i was always under the impression that adapters (with the 2nd set of lugs and bolts) were always more solid and less like to fail than spacers (longer bolts.. etc)

am i wrong?

Seal- Thanks for the compliments.... helps out the stance so much. I have a set of spacers for the front too, I just havent got around to putting them on yet.

Steve - Its getting there, hopefully I throw some wheels on by summer time!
Links,
Can you post the picture of your car from from rear? I am thinking of buying a CF GT2 add on wing ...just wondering how it looks from the back end. Thanks.

Very sexy looking car. I love the stance of it w/ the JIC's. How do you like them so far? How is the ride? I'm debating on either those or the PSS10's.

Frier - I got the wing from Speed Tech then had it painted. I havent gotten the car out to take more pics yet, the weathers been a little rough here in NY

Cossey - I had the same debate between the JICs and the PSS10's..... The JIC's are awesome, I am so happy I made the choice of them over the PSS10's

mtesh - thank you, your tires are still holding up
