Ive had a couple sets of spacers, 5mm and 12mm. you WILL need longer studs. the H&R 5mm spacers come with 10mm over studs, which is nice since these work fine up to the 12mm spacers I was running. how big do you need to go?

Seriously, where can I buy 5mm spacers for the front and wheel studs at? I would like to try the steering response like this...I'll use the 6" spacers for the rear.

i've run h&r 5mm spacers on my car... not only did they warp, but they kept backing my lug nuts out (even with longer studs).
never did bother contacting h&r however... too lazy

never had that problem, had about 60K miles between both sets.

I do all my own work, so I dont know, but it shouldnt cost too much. You just knock the old ones out with a hammer, then pull the new ones through with an impact gun.

how much and where do you get new studs? and what about getting a flat? what do you do then?

I run spacers on my 240SX and it works fine. H&R 15mm front and 5mm rear, been out to autocross and track events on them and never had a problem.
Usually a 5mm is small enough and leave you with enough thread to not need extended studs. If you are going larger than 5mm, I'd do extended studs.
