There's a couple of things in here so stay with me.

Alright, so I got some issues with my car. There's 1 stud broken on the front passenger side so I have to get a new stud (or new hub). Also, my front passenger side wheel is bent (I'm assuming she did them both at the same time..she being the previous owner) so I need a new wheel. A buddy of mine is getting rid of 4 wheels and while I normally wouldn't go this route, it serves a purpose and for $350, it meets an immediate need until I get all my ducks in a row.

The wheels are 18x8 +45 so I'm going with 30mm all around. I've heard bad things about Ichiba but everyone seems to have them. I've heard Eibach fit better, but I don't know anyone WITH them. There's only $20bux difference in cost per set, but for $40, I'd rather have the better product (Eibach) if it is in fact better. Anyone have any input on this?

Also, while this is technically a temp solution, it would probably be a temp for quite some time (6-7months or so). This is not a daily for me. This will not see track use on this setup. It is simply a car to cruise in for a couple of months because come fall, it's getting a tear down. But, I want to get something done so the car doesn't sit in the garage for the rest of summer.

Thanks in advance.

 

Between those two choices, I would choose Eibach.

 

Oooook. That response makes me think there's something better out there. What do you suggest? The only other brand I'm aware of is H&R but just at a quick google, they only came up for E46s (which I know they make for more applications) which makes me think I have to know a vendor to find'em or something. But input please. I know I'll be taking some risk with spacers, but I want to minimize them and I'm not above paying for quality. QUALITY being the operative word as I know our scene has a lot of "this is better because of this name and not because the build process is any different" going around.

 

We offer our own spacers. Made out of Aluminum/Magnesium alloy. Very strong and light weight. 1pc design just like the H&R spacers. We have 15, 20, 25 and 30mm kits. Great quality.

Charles those look awesome.

OP stay away from Ichiba products, they suck. I've had 4 things from them fail in some way.

 

I've had Ichiba v2 spacers for a while and had no problems with them so far. Granted thats the only ichiba product i've ever used.

 

Never had any problems with my Ichiba spacers and they withstood countless launches at 430+whp.

 

Thanks Charles. Those do look beautiful. When I first went to your link, I almost shat a brick. Then I realized the pricing was for 4 spacers and not 1. lol. I think i found a winner.

Henry, the thing that started my "quest" was a few people saying they get shakes with Ichiba and parts fitting incorrectly. A few reviews compared them to Eibachs (stating Eibachs fit better). I don't have any experience with spacers and while 200-300 bux isn't a LOT to spend, it's more than what I want to spend for a product that isn't any better than my current situation.
