Chunky Fab !

Fitted 20mm hubcentric spacers to compliment the H&Rs.

The car's always looked a little narrow, so these have filled the arches really nice.

Had 4 up and no touching the arches whatsoever. Also, had the alignment checked and all is spot on. Rides very well and the steering is perfect, absolutely zero wobble, drift etc.

I'll confess .....

I fitted 15mm 'cheapo' ones (just cast ones) all round and the steering vibrated over 70mph. Did some research and fitted the proper ones :giggle:

How do these "spacers" look like exactly? Normally traction should also have improved due to wider "feet" no?

Got a link?

Got a link?

Yeah, sorry guys ......

Same fit as Mk1 Fabia.

The quality is excellent and everything's included. The fit onto the hub is absolutely EXACT. Impressed :rock:

They look like the H&R ones (which are £150 a pair)

The picture shows the bolts in the wrong place. Just for show I expect, but those are the bolts included for securing directly to the hub, then the wheel is bolted directly to the spacer. Just an 'extension' of the hub itself really.

I smeared a little PTFE between the spacer and hub and a little on the bolts themselves.

With the H&Rs, there's very little roll at all now. There's a definite improvement.

Very nice! So really no difference in steering? Great mod.

Difficult to tell. Absolutely nothing detrimental though, just steers perfectly :sun:

I've got 12mm rear and 5mm front with 215 Tyres on 7.5 wide oz superturismos. For me it was the lesser oversteer that was most noticeable.

Very nice, love the splitter as well

Here is another supplier with Eibach, H&R , Delta mics.

Go into 'parts' for 'Spacers' then 'Skoda' rather than to the vehicle.

You buy from Motorsport World but they are sent out by the distributor.

Apologies for the off topic, but do you have any pictures of your car with the superturismos on? I always wanted to see what it looked like after seeing the s2000 with them :)

Also, those spacers look fantastic. May consider them myself if I go lower. Not too overdone, look perfect.

Pm me your email dude ill send them over

Just a pic of mine to add.

Smart :thumbup:

Cheers dude. Getting even fatter Tyres soon ;)

the mud flaps on the white one need removing then it will be canny

Likey likey! Nice work johnny boy

Been doing some research online and the opinions on spacers is clearly torn. One camp considers them bad and wrong for a number of reasons (wheel bearing issues, driving issues etc) and the rest are happy and content with the result. I hate it when there is no definitive answer :giggle:

Johnny my car is slowly turning into yours, in just about to get then mudflats lol. Might copy you with the spacers aswell ;-) I'll have to come up with some different ideas so you can copy from me haha! I want to be a trend setter! Boooo!

Check out this thread revival............

I just wanted to ask if this car is still running 20mm spacers either side, front and back.

What has been the long term assessment on these?

I keep going around in circles but would love to give my car that really chunky look, I just can't see how I'd get away with it without rubbing the arches, and I'm not going to rolled arches extent of modding to get the look.
