Spacers on c4s

Hey Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone can offer me advice on how many mm spacers i should put on my c4s cab. I just ordered h&r springs for them and i would like to have a more aggressive offset.

The same set up as the C2S, I run 7mm in the front, and 15mm in the rear.

That's what I had on my C2S...PERFECT setup IMO.

I had the same set up before my HRE. Check my lowered album. Lowered with spacers installed on stock rims

I recently got some new wheels and no longer need my old spacers if you are interested in buying them.
5mm OEM fronts with porsche locking bolt and
15 mm H and R with bolts (non locking)

Can't give you a specific spacer size till we know what kind of rims and offsets are on the car now.... IIRC, the widebody offset to the factory 11inch rim is ET51.

H&R springs result in a significant drop in ride height. Spacers may push your rims too far out and result in rubbing. If you put a 15mm spacer on that factory offset you're effectively at an ET36. That's very aggressive and I'd be willing to bet you'll have a clearance issue.

My HRE offset is ET35 and I am on coils that r lower then a spring drop.
I think OP should be fine with a stock offset

I had ET51 on the back with 15mm spacers with coilovers and the car dropped with no issues.
agree OP should be fine. I think that it is generally accepted 15mm spacers with stock offset wheels are ok. 17mm spacers (Porsche) are probably too aggressive.
