warning ...wheel spacers
candy turbo:
i have to agree the h&r ones do look slightly better machined , i showed them to a mate who s an engineering boff today and the only thing he could come up with is that the holes for the bolts are a few mm bigger than the bolts so a certain amount of rotational movement could have been possible !!! any way they are being sent back to venom tomorrow wh said they will send me a replacement set but i said i dont want any more so ill wait to hear what they have to say when they ve recieved them ! :rolleye:

I agree too...
... I'm a fan of spacers... good for the stance of the car and I also notice a negative difference in cornering performance when ever I have removed them :happy2:
Robin - what have the brakes got to do with the purchasing decision?

possibly some people need a spacer to clear the spokes ?, i had to on my last car (thankfully they were only 3mm ones though)

Ahhhh, got ya - that makes perfect sense..... as we were talking about parts failing I asumed brake forces were getting pulled in to the mix.... but that point makes way more sense :rolleye:
