So I searched on this topic and came up with a bunch of threads with brief mentions, but nothing really solely devoted to the subject (nothing recent anyway), so I figured I'd start a thread.
I'd love to hear some opinions from some of the more knowledgeable guys here (Calesta? Wil?). Obviously wider wheels would be the ideal solution, but say that I'd like to keep my stock Type-S wheels (which look pretty decent for factory rims), but just space them out a bit in addition to mild lowering for a SLIGHTLY more aggressive, (but still easily DDable and not bank-breaking) stance. I was thinking of going all Eibach (probably the Pro-Kit springs and maybe 20 or 25 mm spacers).
So, any thoughts? Proper alignment is a given (as with any suspension changes), but are spacers terrible for your wheel bearings? Any other issues to consider?
