Eibach Sportline springs with 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers on stock wheels - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just in case anyone wants to make their stock wheels look a little better, 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers is a pretty good combination. You can actually even do 30mm for the rear.

And some before and after shots

Thanks! The wheels looked a bit funny sunken in after I lowered it. The spacers make it look much better.

Looks great. I like the look with the spacers. What brand spacer did you go with?

Thanks! I went with Eibach spacers with built-in studs. I first wanted the Ichiba V2's, but the shop I went to didn't carry that brand, so they gave me a discount on the Eibachs. They're normally a bit pricey.

looks good! would you happen to have a better side profile shot? just to see how low the actual drop is? thanks!

Thanks! Not after the spacers were put on. It's already dark out right now, but I'll take another picture tomorrow and post it here.

very nice....amazing what just simple spacers can do to the look of oem wheels. are you getting any scrubbing with those 20mm spacers?

on a similar note, do you guys think a 10mm spacer will be safe to run if they dont have the extended bolts?

No rubbing whatsoever. The front fenders are already somewhat rolled from factory. And I could have actually fit 30mm on the rear and might not have rubbed either. But I just wanted to play it safe with the 25mm.
From what I hear, if you get 10mm or greater spacers, you'll need extended studs. Some spacers come with studs already built into them. In that case, you won't need extended studs.

Thanks. I've also tried to find out whether the 10mm spacers from eibach includes the extended studs or not....but couldn't really find much info.

Thanks. Honestly I don't think it's any different than stock. I know lowering a car will usually make the ride a bit more stiff, but I can't tell the difference from stock. I met up with a forum member last night because he wanted to check out the drop with the Sportline springs since he's considering getting the same ones and I gave him a ride. He also said he couldn't feel any difference. I'm happy with it

BRZPDX · 02-01-2013, 01:42 AM

that's how the car should of looked stock!
