Any issues with putting spacers on these cars and if not what’s the ideal spacer, front and back

TIA

Put level vertically against fender. Measure how many mm’s of the gap you want to fill.

15 mm Rear/7 mm Front is a popular option. They'll give you a nice, flush fitment.

That’s what I’m running.

OP, have you lowered your car or are you planning to? This can also affect how much spacer width you might want

Good point. Makes a bigger difference than most would think. Lowering tends to tuck the wheels into the wheel well so more aggressive spacers needed for lowered cars than stock height for a nice flush stance.

Yea, I am planning on lowering it. Its got 55k miles on it and debating between doing coilovers OR just H&R lowering springs.

I have a 2010 C4S. The following photo was taken after initial install of Bilstein B16 with factory Carrera II Wheels. 15mm rear, 10mm front. I felt as though the fitment was perfect.

Mine came from the factory with 5mm spacers all around.

How do you like the Bilstein B16? I am debating those, car has 55k miles on it and was thinking of refreshing the suspension.

It seems the general consensus for those with B16 coilovers (like me) highly recommend installing the DSC sport controller as well. FWIW, I have 15mm spacers front and rear on my .1 C4S.

As others have recommended I installed the DSC controller along with the B16’s. The ride is very firm yet compliant and not teeth jarring. I have no issue taking the car for a 200-300 mile day trip into the mountains. The combo also performed flawlessly when I tracked it the first time as well.
