Coilovers without spacers???

Does anyone have coilovers (or lowering springs) and not have spacers. I'm wondering if lowering the car would look silly without spacers.

TIA

Matt

I had H&R lowering springs installed and didn't like the look of the wheels tucked up under the fenders. I install 5mm spacers on the front and 17mm on the rear. The 17mm put the tire very close to the fender but so far no rubbing.

Nice looking stance. Does effect any handling. How does it ride? Where did your Carrera 4S badge go?

The spacers don't seem to effect the handling. The springs make the car feel more planted and the ride quality only feels slightly firmer but not harsh.
I orderd my car with the Model Designation Delete Option.
