Hey more knowledgeable Spyder owners,

Had my Spyder since March of this year and what an amazing car it is. Has 3700 miles and 2 track days (AMP and Road Atlanta) and so far mind has been blown.

As is not surprising I have been bitten by the modding bug and have been looking at spacers to make the car look a bit better. I got a sport alignment done and now it's even more pronounced I think. SO I was hoping with RSS spacers 7 mm all around the car would look a bit more 'stanced'. My question is should I do 7 mm all around or 7 front and 15 rear?

Also waiting for this answer..

keep in mind that with spacers, you are effectively reducing the spring and shock rates - even if miniscule.

I was wondering about 5's all the way around...

That's pretty interesting. Reducing meaning that would make the car feel a bit more softer? Why would that be? I mean all it's doing is in my mind pushing the wheels out a tad.

Also if one were to get spacers who would you recommend getting them from?

digitalrurouni

Well I could not wait for any replies so I ordered the 7 mm spacers all around as a stocking stuffer for the Spyder. Can't wait to get it and have it installed. Let's see how it goes. I will report back once it's on the car.

whose spacers did you order?

digitalrurouni

Ah sorry forgot to mention this earlier but I got them from RSS.

^ Appreciate the info, thank you

Thank you for taking the plunge for the rest of us. I was thinking slightly more in the back but excited to see what yours look like.

Do the spacers require new lug bolts?

Gravs

Interesting. Before and after shots please! Do the wheels not foul the arches? The clearance looks tight even without the spacers.

think of the suspension arm as a lever. The attachment point to the body is the pivot and the strut attachment point is the fulcrum. the further out you push the wheel, the more leverage you have, effectively softening the spring/shock.

Yes
RSS sells them as a set.
