front 10mm
rear 12.5mm

If I had to do it again, I’d go with 12.5mm all around. But as is, makes a difference - for the better of course.

I ordered the Dinan springs based on your pics. Your car looks way lower than others that I've seen with these springs. Do you have adaptive suspension?

You know, I was thinking the same thing - that my car looks a bit lower than what others have posted. That said, I absolutely love the drop, its just right IMO.

No I have the static suspension.

Edit: If you go with wheel spacers, as a suggestion, for the fronts, go with 12-13mm. I went with a 10mm originally, and they’re still not quite flush and a bit tucked in. I have since ordered 12.5mm to go along with the existing 12.5mm in the rear.

Yea man - I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the whole setup, subtle yet very effective.

Here is the link to the spoiler:

Did you need extended bolts with the spacers or were the stock ones long enough?

Are you running stock staggered? 15mm in the rear will probably poke out a bit, 15mm in the front shouldnt. Im running 12.5mm all around and the rears are pretty much flush and the front is still not quite flush, close though. I guess it all depends what look you’re going for.

Personally, I love my setup as it is now - I maybe couldve gone 13mm in the front, but thats me being really picky. The rear is perfect for me.

Yes, I went with ECS tuning - they came with extended bolts. That said, whatever spacers you go with, anything 5-6mm + its highly advisable to go with extended bolts.

Sorry for all the questions - but I've always wondered this for the people who use spacers. What do you do if you need longer bolts but you still want to have wheel locks? Can you get wheel locks with the correct length and specs?

Yea, not sure about the wheel lock concern. But all I can say is, I would never drive around with 10+mm spacers and stock lug bolts.
