Spacers?

I searched and couldn't really find the answer I'm looking for. I'm gonna be lowering the G in a few months (once the snow is dead and gone in the midwest) with the "new" Eibach springs. I've read some reviews of the springs and have decided to go with some wheel spacers. Any recommendations on brand, material, sizing, etc...?
I'd like obviously something that will last, will bring the wheels flush to the fenders. My car is an 08xS sedan, wheels not staggered, 18X8 sport rims. Also, if anyone wants to sell some, let me know.
Thanks

I would go with the Ichiba Version2 spacers. They are perfect for our cars. As far as size, it would depend on your current wheels offsets. I have OEM and have 25mm all around.

I am getting 15mm. I just dropped my car on Eibachs just 3 days ago. I am gonna get 15mm because I lot of people here are running 15mm with no problems.

The Ichiba's V2 come with Hub. rings. They are very easy to put on. Depending on your wheels, make absolutely sure that 15mm is the way to go. Would suck if you ended up hellasunk.

OEM Sport Sedans with Eibachs are using 20mm spacers to sit flush.

I guess I am gonna look into it a bit deeper before buying some spacers. I was planning on getting 15mm. 20mm sounds good if it sits flush. I don't want rubbing issues.

anyone else using other spacers besides the V2 from Ichiba? I saw the vibration fix, with the copper wire, but was wondering if there are other ideal spacers out there.

to play it safe without any issues from vibration, get H&R wheel spacers.
