H+R Spacers

Has anyone experienced strange handling after fitting the 7mm and 15mm spacers?

Did you have to use longer bolts even for the 7mm spacers?

Thanks.

My TT is running some 15mm H&R spacers and I don't found any strange handling issue. My other car running 5mm H&R spacer and they come with longer bolts.

firas_997 is infamous around these parts

no problem with spacers at all , and you need longer bolts which should come together with the spacer set . it better looking car with spacers go ahead .

i have heard that you do not need longer bolts with the 7mm, but i use them.
the 5mm porsche spacers even come with longer bolts...
someone had posted a technique to install the spacers to make sure the bolts are seated correctly. the original poster was having the same handling issue i believe

VERY WRONG INFORMATION! DON'T DO IT! YOU HAVE TO ADD LONGER BOLTS IF YOU ADD SPACERS!
