Not really though. But with so much knowledge here it costs money to do the right thing. I'm used to buying a set of coilovers on a vw and being done with it.

1: So I ordered some H&R coilovers.
2: Had to of course buy the 15mm front and 25mm spacers to make it look good with the new oettingers right?
3: Had to purchase the Full camber kit so its all good in the rear.

Pay to play I guess. Hopefully since its all from different places it'll all be here in time to install it before H2O!

Did you order longer bolts for the front wheels? Rears can use stock bolts.

Default I know I have them on now. They'll just look better. And as for bolts...

I got the type of spacers that bolt to the hub then you use stock bolts to bolt into spacer.

I know the 25mm spacers use stock bolts, but I wasn't aware of any 15s that did, which brand?

Default You sure you need spacers that big for the Oettingers?

Sounds to me that your wheels will all be sticking out past the fenders.....

Default What are the width and offset of your wheels?

a local buddy of mine had them in 19x8.5 ET35 I think with no spacers.... and I don't remember them needing that big of spacers...

Default You didn't pay attention to my email...

To run the 15s you're going to HAVE TO run longer bolts, and they have to be the R12 radius bolts. Stock bolts are about 28mm of thread, so you're going to need 28+15= 43mm bolts. I bought longer ones from Pure Motorsports and cut them down. Do a search for details.
