Adaptec Spacers

Does anyone have these? If so any comments, compared to other brands?


I'm dealing with Brad and he's been very responsive and helpful. Since putting on the Sport Springs I want to bring out the wheels a bit so I'm looking at their 7/15mm kit, anyone running these on a C4S?

I like the ECS tuning ones since it's a complete solution with well thought out details.

But really any of them will work. I'd make sure they have a hub centric ring if greater the 9mm and have a spacer retaining hole/screw. Another detail is to look for beveled edges as that makes prying off the spacers easy if you leave them on too long and get corrosion. Also engraved sizing either on the face or edge is a nice feature too. I currently run H&R spacer kit and I'd rather have the ECS tuning ones.

What Size are you running? I was looking at 7mm front and 15mm rear, if I go with ECS (which I also like) I'll have to go 8mm front and I think it may cause some rubbing issues, I was also looking at the RSS ones which a local dealer stocks the 7&15.

14mm front, 7mm rear. No rubbing in my combo but depending on your wheel/tire specs, you may get rubbing only on full lock. This can easily be remedied by using a heat gun and pushing the splash shield back a few mm.

I will eventually do 14mm in the rear too to get the GT3 offsets.

You got a WB? What's your current wheel/tire specs?

I have all 3 companies...hr ecs and adaptec in different sizes.
I like HR the best but really too expensive
ECS is as good as HR but the black coating does rub off(minor issue). You can't beat it for the price though.

They do seem nice, but I'm looking for 7mm up front and they only have an 8mm, which might cause some rubbing issues.
looking for 7/15mm. Any thoughts?

Fronts I have minimal camber -.8 and run 10mm with room for more
You should be fine with 8mm especially if you have 225/40

Getee,
Someone is now saying the 15mm rear will be too aggressive and suggests 7/7mm but I think 7mm rear won't be quite enough. My C4s is on H&R springs and I run the 295 rears.

if you're on hr's I'm a little lower than you. about -1.8 camber rears.
With the wider 315's I run up to 31mm offset(14mm spacer) and I have a little more room.
If you have 295's I see no reason why 15mm spacers won't fit.
