I installed 15mm HR spacers in the rear and can't believe the difference in how the car looks I decided, for now, to leave the fronts stock--I kind of like the difference in offsets

Kevganzon is infamous around these parts
looks like from the majority of the input here its clear the 7mm Fr & 15mm Rr spacers (60mm studs) work well and have all had no rubbing issues

I have 17mm at the rear and nothing at the front.

I had 7mm at the front, but I didn't like the feeling of the car at all, so I removed them. I'm not a suspension expert, so I cannot tell why the car felt bad with front spacers... The steering seemed unprecise and the car didn't feel "quick" through the corners, espetially on fast changes of direction, it was a little "spongy". Maybe there was (is) something wrong with the suspension, or with alignment, or maybe it's me....ahah.

Now it is better, but still I don't like the way it respond to the steering inputs...

But I still cannot find a shop that can do a proper alignment/camber on the car ( I tried three shops, one of them is a Porsche shop, and every time the car's got worst..), and I simply CANNOT FIND a shop that does corner balancing, can you believe me? Most of them don't even know what corner balancing is and why it is so important...I'm going mad...


Sorry for the OT, but I wanted to give vent to my frustration about this. I'm stuck with a car that is reallly bad to drive around corners and pulls to the right...

I'll give a try to the shop that is going to do the RWD conversion and some other little service works. They still do it without computers...in a DYI style....and they do it for track cars, so I may be confident.
