| Spacers Yay or nay? Is anyone running spacers on the fab VRS? I was thinking about gettin some for the rear as i thought it may improve handling, am i right to think this? What sort of sizes would people suggest going for if any? Does it put alot of strain on the wheel beaings? Would i need to change the bolts as well?

| Re: Spacers Yay or nay? Make sure you buy decent hub centric ones else you'll have vibration problems. You'll probably also need longer wheel bolts.

| Re: Spacers Yay or nay? I have 15mm hubcentric wheel spacers on the rear. Makes the car much more stable under cornering/braking. Longer bolts were supplied, easy to fit. Worthy mod IMHO. Usually some floating around on fleabay.
