Got my RSC spacers installed.

Just got the car back tonight, there were two other vantages in the shop with it, easy to see the difference. To the untrained eye, you would never see it. Put two of them next to each other, big difference. Fills out the wheel wells much more. I took before pics trying to get close to the wheel wells, I'll take some after pics soon and post. Here's a quickie I took with the iphone.

Looks full, as it should be. What size is the spacer? Standard wheel?

This saturday, we have a little get together, I'll take pics side by side with another vantage...

I have a sneaking hope that pushing the rim 2cm away from the brakes will reduce the amount of gunk on them???? Time will tell....

Met Ken at our local cars and coffee thing this morning. There were two 458's with an enzo in between... 10-15 lambos... good morning! Here are pics to compare the spacers, definitely worth it, and if the added distance from the brakes makes a hint of a difference on build up, I will be stoked! Time will tell.

Looks great, love the rear and also interested in hearing if the dreaded brake dust is diminished.

Only concern is with the front wheels, I pelt my rear fender with rocks all day long with standard spacing in front....
