Spacers on a wide body?

Is anyone running spacers on a C4S or Turbo with turbo twists? I found a few pictures of a US car with 14mm front and 20mm rear and I liked it but I doubt it would pass a MOT over here :lol:
So I wondered what folks fit over here legally :?:

That would pass.
 
I'm sure it would. But I do wonder about why you'd want to increase understeer by widening the rear track more than the front. My intention is to add 7-10mm to the front only to remove some of the understeer. But I guess this is about looks rather than go?

That car is from the US !!!!
 
Puzzle solved :)
 
Thanks fellas :thumb:

On the all show and no go side.. I've got a C4s so its more about looks :lol:

So In theory would a 14mm front with a 10mm rear work without upsetting understeer

:?:
 
15mm all around on C4S

15mm all around on C4S no issues

:thumb: Thanks pooga is yours lowered?
 
Curious. Sharkwerks suggests 7mm at the front and 15mm at the rear in it's guide for 997.2 C4/C4S/GTC etc. But since I have the 11.5 inch wide rims at the rear I think 15mm would be too much.

yep - lowered by 30mm - M030 with H&R -30mm springs
 
I have 17mm back and 10mm front. They don't stick out on the back and as I have a spare set of 17mm for the front I will prob try and fit these. I heard 15mm are good for th front so the extra 2mm is worth a try as the current 10mm ones still don't totally fill out the arches
 
7mm front, 15mm rear on my C4S, it looks great IMO. Come along to the meet at Stamford on Sunday and you can see them in the flesh.

Blimey, 30mm lower than standard on a C4S :eek:

Can you get over any speed bumps - my spoiler is only 110mm off the ground at the front lip - wouldn't fancy dropping that to 80mm?

Out of curiosity, what is the clearance on your spoiler :?:
