You have spacers Redridge?

Mostly to protect the radiators and keep road crap from collecting in the fins. I don't imagine it would be that hard to pierce the radiator hose or fins with a lucky (unlucky) stone or something...

Unfortunately though, the two rubber shrouds that enclose the outer two radiators had to be removed because they interferred with the bumper. I don't know yet how that will affect cooling. Another thing I need to do is purge the air from the coolant system. I saw some instructions over on Renn, but I may just take it over to somebody to have that done.

You have spacers Redridge?

yes, 15mm... 4mm is a lot actually. You dont want the wheels flushed with the fenders (even when it is rolled)... if you have stock offsets, then 15mm is the way to go if you want the agressive look, but I dont know your offsets. I prefer 7mm up front...

here is 15mm up front and 7mm rear



15mm all around
