Ya, stock spacers are 3mm (IIRC) If I go to 5mm I should be close. Just wanted to make sure. I got the car new but half built off of fleabay. Needless to say a SP kit is not a good choice for someone who hasn't built a few cars already. It was new, but all "jacked up". I had to start over from scratch. He included "spare parts"...he didn't say I would have to use them all to replace the stuff he 'screwed up' to put it politely
