Attachment 120217 I too have Eibach 20mm and 25mm on my BRZ. I think 25mm up front may push the wheel out too far, see photos below.

Do you track or do any hard driving with the spacers?

Not tracked but will do. Not aware of any issues related to track use. Interestingly when I was in the process of ordering the spacers I was informed that the European spec is different from the American spec as we drive our cars harder....

I did not get a chance to take mine back to the track after the springs and spacers were installed before I sold the car.

I can say the handling got a little stiffer from the sportline drop but it was not too bad for daily use. The Pro sports didn't have enough drop for me personally, although I would guess those are a more track worthy spring. Overall I was still happy with my purchase.

Would you need alignment after installing spacers?

If you are just putting spacers on the car I would say no. If you are dropping the car on springs or coils with the spacers than yes.

I'm dropping the car first and then getting it aligned, before installing the spacers

got a question.. i currently have extended wheel studs since im using 10mm spacers but i'll be changing back to stock specs (wheels and tires) and i'll be putting those hubcentric spacers

my question is, we only have 20mm hubcentric spacers available locally, can i combine my extended wheel studs and the 10mm spacers then add the 20mm hubcentric spacers? is this possible and safe? otherwise, i'll have to order those 30mm hubcentric spacers if ever this is not possible or safe

Wow looks perfect...I will be doing spacers also for the stock rims, just will need to figure out width

Any difference in the feel / handling / ride?

I actually noticed the handling was a little better. The rear end didn't come out so much when I was gunning it around corners, when it normally always would on the stock tires if it was slightly wet outside. It felt nice!
