Looking at the picture, what size spacers do people think are on this car?

I have to say it sits absolutely perfectly. Looks stunning, I was thinking the same thickness. Eibach do high quality stuff.

Driving God ... That looks great. Which did you get the spacers from? Are they hub centric ones. Does it drive much differently to standard (apart from the firmness from the springs)?

Interestingly I have just read that Porsche offered a spacer option out of the factory!

After a lot of research and seeing car in real life I think 7mm front and 15mm are perfect. Wheels are virtually flush with arches and can still lower 20-30mm. Looks like the picture I posted at top of thread.

For info ... Both are hubcentric ... front 7mm spacers are flat, because at 7mm the existing centre bore still sticks out for alignment purposes. The 15 mm rear spacers have a new centre bore. Need longer bolts all round.

Hope that helps anyone else who is thinking about it!
