Need Help on Spacers.

[jigaro]

I'm thinking of puting on spacers on my X.

I have Aero Pack, 21 215's and i think they will look good on the X but i have some questions to you guys, some of you have them on the X and i need you to speak from your experience.

1. Which size do you suggest?
2. Any difference in handling turning?

Thanks in advance

no perceivable handling difference but I didn't exactly race it through corners before & after. Used 15mm front and 20mm rear as per recommendation from another member here. They are perfectly even with the flares.

Nice Nice, any particular brand or a place i should look at, when purchasing the spacers?

15 in front and 20 in the back as you said, did you at least get to know why these sizes, and not the wider spacers?

DO you think even wider spacers will look better?

I wouldn't do more than 15mm for the fronts. The rears are subjective, but I can see 25mm looking good as well.

I plan on dropping mine with Eibachs soon, which will cause all for wheels to camber in a bit more, warranting maybe wider spacers.

You mean lower it?

Take my advice and don't touch it, i bought it lowered with Hartge springs, and the ride was so harsh, people used to refuse to seat in the back because of the custom links, it was that harsh.

I went back to factory set up, and the car is better now.

I'm thinking 15 in the front and 25 in the back...

Got them from Turner Motorsport | BMW Performance Parts, OEM BMW Parts & BMW Accessories - spoke to someone on the phone for it though, because you have to worry about extended bolts too, make sure you get the right ones (they'll verify with you).
