would 10mm spacers work with 128's as well?
So 10mm would definitely fit, but 15mm may look better.

Cool! How is the handling afterwards? 
I would tend to agree, although you need to pay careful attention to detect it.

In theory, the handling should improve (particularly when cornering) becauseof the wider rear track.

yes spacers significantly improve the cornering ability of your car.
they also eliminate the response for under or over steering, depending on the application/set up.

I know this is an old thread but I need some advice.
When you say you've used 10mm spacers is this 5mm each side or 10mm each side? They don't appear to do the 10mm each side ones on the site I'm looking at so I may have answered my own question but........
I'm looking at the Eibach spacers HERE. Will these be ok? Or will I need the 24mm ones (i.e. 12mm each side) As I said they don't appear to do 20mm (10mm each side ones!)
Also what does 'Flat Spacers (Not Hubcentric)' mean?
Thanks for your help guys.
