opinions on spacers

Looking for opinions on whether or not I should get some spacers. I have the OEM coupe 19's and RWD springs. Im not planning on lowering any more. The RWD springs lowered about .5in which was enough. Think I should get some spacers to improve the stance, or dont bother because Im not going bigger wheels or lower drop. I was looking at the H&R TRAK DRM 15mm. Worth the money or no? Im also assuming Ill need to do the copper wire vibration fix as well...

I think it's up to you. The coupe wheels have more aggressive offsets than our stock wheels, no? From those pics, I don't think that looks too bad, although you can't really judge the front wheels.

In any case, I think the H&R Trak+ DRM spacers are totally worth the money. The spacer is one piece instead of two. Moreover, the hubcentric part protrudes much more than the Ichiba V2 so no copper wire fix needed. It is not much more $$$ than the Ichiba V2 (although a lot more than the generic copies of the V2).

Do the coupe wheels have reliefs on their backside that will allow for bolt-on spacers? If so, I'd recommend getting some with the hubcentric ring as part of the spacer (replicating the hub itself). Why put something on that you know you have to mod to make it right??

For reference, check out the spacer products this company builds to spec (look for pics of spacers with a full hub shoulder built in):

There are many other companies that build them this way too. I understand if you're stuck with copper wire fix because you already have the spacers w/o a hub, but why start there?
