Need some help, or ideas on lowering with spacers

[boonFRS]

I'm running ichiba v2 25mm spacers front and rear on eibach sportline. No rubbing.

IMO, at 20-25mm, you're better off buying bolt on spacers than running extended lugs. The spacer bolts to the existing studs, and has new studs in the spacer that the wheel bolts to.

Is it really worth it just for the looks?

Yes.
RCE yellows - 300
Spacer/camber bolt combo from corner3garage - 130
Alignment - 100
Install - do it yourself. The DIY forum has some great walkthroughs.

For $530 you've got springs that actually work with the OEM struts and handle much better, and a nice aggressive stance that makes it look like your car didn't forget leg day.

@b2autodesigns is a vendor here with a quality spacer kit for an affordable price. Get a set of eibach pro springs from @rallysportdirect and you are talking $350. Install yourself, this is a basic process...

Any brands you would recommend?

Agreed with @wparsons, if you're going 25-30mm, get bolt on spacers. I contacted H&R and they said they don't recommend 25-30mm on extended lugs.

When I had my stockies I went with the B2Autodesigns set, loved the look. Just like installing any lugs make sure that they're started on the stud by hand and not an impact gun. This can cause a cross thread.

My order of preference (when I shopped for them)
H&R Track+ DRM - German made, Aluminum Alloy, TUV approved

Eibach -German made, Aluminum Alloy, Good Service

B2 Autodesigns - Taiwanese made, Aluminum, Great service

Project Kics - Japanese made - They make good conversion spacers, so I assume that their standard bolt-on's to be just as good.

Corner3 Garage V3 Spacers - Billet Aluminum, they have a running special that includes camber bolts (to add - camber to your front end)

Ichiba - Have heard about stud issues, choose another option.
