pick one. they're all pretty well the same. Mm's are H&R's made in germany. I'd imagine Eibach's are too.

i wouldn't really recommend wheel spacers. I'm sure you have a great idea in mind and it will look pretty bad *** but I have seen some pretty bad things happen with people using wheel spacers like wheels falling off. Just make you sure you put them on correctly

LOL Ahh I see now.

Don't know if I would trust the EBay spacer's or not.I have'nt heard anyone using them and I like to use part's that I trust.I'd do the MM's,Eibach,or H&R's because of that reason.

nobody here has used a 40+ on our cars that I can see and pretty much everyone here uses H&R made spacers... H&R makes all of em I've ever seen in fact.

So, like the man said... ebay: eh... not sure if I'd do that. 45mm... your call. Those LOOK like good units, they look like the H&R kits and I would not be surprised if they were. Call em up and ask if the spacers are german made by H&R or not. If not I'd pass and call up Maximum Motorsports to get a set from them.

thanks for the opinions. the problem is i am a poor 18 year old and the cheapest price means a lot. the "brand name" ones are 100 dollars more so i am definately considering these ebay ones.

if you can't afford to pay... don't play. First rule of modding. If you can't swing the cash to fix it twice, don't mod it. That's the mistake... you are under the impression that you can go a "cheap" route and have it be anything but an abject failure. Sorry to say but price usually directly affects quality in my experience. Cheap mods are just that, and usually worth that much.

I'd be worried about the quality. However, you can call up the sellers business and ask where they're made. If it's germany, then buy them. If it's China or anywhere else in the far east as a whole, run away as fast as you can.

just exactly like installing wheels but twice. You'll figure it out... trust me. A blind man could feel it, scratch his head and slap it together.

oh awesome...
i was searching on google for an install thing and they has to take the disk brake off and then put it on. but that was a pos nissan.

Do my rims need to have indents on the back for the studs to go in or anything?

depends on the size of the spacer. 30mm usually no, less usually yeah.

If the studs on your axles are too long use a cutoff wheel or a hacksaw and a file to cut and smooth the ends. Mine had been cut off by the previous owner of my axle... saved me bunch of trouble.
