I had to ditch the Skunk2 springs after I added the spacers as well. Something went wonky after the install.

Guys,
Whitout drop (stock suspension), what are the best sizes (front/rear) for spacers to achieve perfect "flushness" ?

I think +25mm/+25mm, but I prefer to ask before ordering.
I think I will never be lowered, because I sometimes scrape (friend's house, huge speedbump in front of my house), and I didnt installed my front lip yet...

i'm on PSS9s on bilstein's lowest recommended settings. buddy had these up for $150 and let me test fit them. some of the pics are kinda redundant.

20f/25r - 225f/255r HTRZIII on ap2v1s

hmm... this doesnt look promising..

@turbosix
+25mm looks too large without fender job, no ?

F+20/R+20 will maybe look great without Fenders modified.

How much does running large spacers accelerate ball-bearing wear? How about just a 10 or 15mm?
