bro, why do you need spacers unless you are planning to install BBK that can't clear your rims?

i am on 19" and H&R springs, stock brakes... no spacers needed...

Try not to use spacer if possible. It can cause steering vibration at high speed.

thanks hanks for the kind advise.. but from experience i have used spacers for more than 5 years... if the spacer is well built and with centre hub, it does not vibrate at high speeds:becky: i previously used a 15mm eibach spacer on my mark x and travel avg 160 to kl no probs

Bingo!! So choosing the right spacers is important.

I got a set of spacers custom made on my other car which I use for track. So far no problems. As mentioned, u need to make sure it has the hub so that it can sit properly on your brake disk and also for the rims to sit on it. I made mine at Sin Min Autohub level 3. It's right at the end at the corner next to the lift after you pass JuzzforCars. Think it cost 60-70 per piece for 12mm. They need to measure your rims and disc hub size to custom make. Just make sure u balance your wheels with the spacers included during balancing.

Can you advice where to get the spacers?

Spacers could and would damage your whole braking system. .. . not worth the risk IMHO... it's never been recommended by tyre shops...

IMO, spacers won't damage braking systems or cause steering vibrations as long as it's manufactured properly...much like rims. If you were to read earlier posts in this thread, the spacers must come with a rim bearing centre hub...not the cheapo ones that's completely flat like a disc. I have used many spacers before without any issues...go for the branded ones like Eibach.
