how are spacers working out?
I was thinking about getting the same 15mm spacers that you posted about. Apart from the obvious change in (good) looks how have they affected the handling?

Hmmm - I noted a slightly improved turn-in response with me 15mm's, personally. And...
..WTF? No snow??? Quattro squanderer!!! 8-) Missing out on one of life's more evil pleasures, I say!

They increase max cornering capability by 0.003g ... really.
By improving load distribution during cornering, adding 15mm spacers or 30mm to an S8's track increases maximum g's in a steady state corner to 0.883g. The 0.003g improvement is probably too small to feel, but it'd be a noticeable improvement in lap time on track.
