Coilover question before install

swaggerwagon · 01-13-2013, 01:06 AM

I just got a set of Raceland ultimo coilovers...I have read the opinions of Raceland on the forum and some are for and against them.

I am not going for performance with these. They are just to close off the wheel gap and replace my leaked out shock and struts.

I have seen people running spacers with aftermarket wheels and before I put these on and waste a couple hours doing so only to switch them back to my busted suspension. Do I need to run spacers with OEM style 135 wheels or can I clear everything without

Yes, you will need a 5-8mm spacer minimum. 10mm's will guarantee you will be on the road after install.
