Also, what would the driver notice if he/she were to take to the track with/without the spacers?
i.e other than the excellent aesthetics, do they really affect the handling in a positive way and is it noticeable I wonder?
Theoretically, a wider stance improves cornering grip, but I doubt it's enough of a difference to be noticeable. You'd get more bang for you buck by lowering the car for track performance.

It's $75 to ship them to the UK, so $255 total.

He needs shipping to UK. Free shipping in CONUS.

What is going on with the member that refuses to pay. Thats BS.

Simple to change your mind but to hang up 9 other people and not say a thing...Not cool even little.

Tel, we can get you in in the place of the other guy. Honestly, like Foosh said I mean it wont be like you'll shave seconds off your lap time, but yes theoretically a wider stance will mean better tracking and confidence. When looking at our cars and paying attention to where our wheels fall within the fender wells, we feel that this issue is far more than just aesthetics.

Jaguar unfortunately misses the mark as it relates to it's oem wheel offsets.

Default GB: lowering springs

If you guys want to do a similar buy for springs, we can do that next in a separate post. Not sure if I'm all in on them yet because of the many speed bumps in my area.

I'll need to take a look at my spaced wheels to see if the height bothers me to the point that I feel the need to do it.

Perhaps someone can post before and after lowering pics starting in another post to get a look at what we are talking about visually.

I just called Larry. He said everyones paid up and production is beginning.

Adapters will begin shipping on the 8th!

For those that need lug nuts, remember you need 12 x 1.5mm.

Thanks to all the guys who either directly participated or contributed with valuable info to make this second round purchase a go.

It's never easy putting any GB together, let alone a round two but we knocked it out of the park.

Thanks again and lets keep our buying power together for future purchases!

You'll get in if you call him quickly. He's a good guy, and knowing them, they probably will run a few extras, just in case.

..and I have heard from Lenny that they will be anodised Black! Sweet!

Can someone remind me of the lug nut torque for the spacers, AND the torque for the OEM lug nuts please?

Does anyone still use a light smear of Copperslip on the threads these days or has that gone out of fashion now?
