Not again...

Hey kids,

Im after some spacers for the BM and Ive been pointed in a few directions etc but the reason Im posting a thread about possibly one of the most talked about items is... I dont want to buy crap but also wouldnt mind saving money where possible (who doesnt want to do that?)

What brand did you buy?
Why?
Cost and last but not least have you had any issues with them i.e. rusting spacer/bolts etc etc?

Just so you know, I was looking at H&R spacers then someone mentioned Bimecc so Im stuck.

Mike

I've always bought either H&R or Eibach.

Respected manufacturers,so no worries on quality,robustness etc.

I do have a pair of 10mm H&R spacers complete with extended bolts if you're interested,PM if so.

Ive always wanted to use spacers but was always put off with them rusting and bonding to the hub/wheel, and also issues with vibration at speed.

Any experiences with this?

I had 10/12mm Eibach spacers on my E90 for 4 years and they came on and off whenever needed with no issues whatsoever.

FYI OP: SSDD Motorsports sell both H&R + Eibach and is where my money would go.

I've bought BM 12mm spacers for my car. As my car is lowered so my rears rubbed with 12 mm. I guess I will try 10mm spacers.
If somebody is interested in 12mm spacers BM spacers, feel free to shoot me a pm.
