Title: 15mm spacers on the rear?
Post by: craig_t on February 11, 2013, 06:06:53 pm

Has anyone got 15mm spacers at the rear, with standard monzas that they could post a pic of. Can't decide if I'd be better off with 10 or 15mm  :scared:

Just thought I'd use this topic instead of doing a new one. Hope you don't mind.

Just fitted coilovers to my golf, 17inch Monza standard and been offered some 15mm spacers.

Does anyone have a picture of what it would look like? I have googled but nothing much comes up

fwiw I had 10mm rear spacers with my monzas and on full compression one side touched. This is with eibach pro springs that have a 10mm drop.

If you could post up some before and after photos (from the same angles) once you've fitted them that'd be awesome, ta'  :smiley:

Easy fix is to use 8mm hubcentric spacers...   :happy2:
