For some reason, virtually noone in Australia uses 64p, so none of the stores stock anything but 48p

the spacers are quite thin so they adjust your track only subtly compared to the variations you can achieve using the toe blocks & your front track should never be wider than your rear. The effect of adding spacers to the front will be more stability but less responsive steering, while adding spacers to the rear will give the rear end more grip


Now I've got a question. My car is pretty well sorted, however I'm getting a bit too much body roll (the sides of my chassis are scraping). If I want to maintain the balance of handling but reduce the body roll should I use firmer sway bars or firm up the springs?
