Thanks mate
I've ordered some 8mm for the rear too!
The gaps you have are pretty much how mine sits now!

Should look good then. What do you think of the driving experience - worth the cost of the upgrade?

As you say a vast improvement over standard.
So much so I've moved them from 3 to 4 and still very happy.
Haven't done the alignment yet as I'm wanting to be 100% sure on ride height before getting it done.
Yeah thanks to you and P_G on your recommendations and help with setting up

Well I've removed my front spacers

Running late for work this morning so was pushing on quite a bit and I had a steering vibration at higher speeds.
I've removed them, I may try them on the rear to see what it looks like.

Is it because the lip is a different shape to the one we have booker ? I'm sure the ones we have come straight out

No idea Sonny, my mechanical knowledge extends as far as filling the petrol tank ;)  Looking forward to getting your new car?

I'm going to try the 8mm on the rear as the hub lip is longer and from memory fitted better.
If they work I'll order some of the above for the front.
Thanks again

Well today I fitted my 10mm spacers which as you say has a different lip and locks in to the wheel tightly
So I'm running 8mm rear 10mm front and I'm getting the occasional rub when the kids are in???
My question is does anyone else have issues with the rear ride height?
I seem to adjust it up 5mm but the minute any weights in the back the tyres goes in the arch, I've only got about 10mm adjustment left to its highest setting. I'm running the dampers on 4 but that shouldn't affect the ride height.
As is the ride height is perfect until even a child is in the back then it's on its arse again!
Anyone
