Hello all,

I have been trying to reason that spacers are not good for the E60.

But I have the 123 rim and I realized that the 124 rim come out 12 mm more than the 123 and that looks really nice.

So next spring I will try with 10 mm (or 12) spacers on the rear.

But where can I get quality 10 mm spacers here in Europe?

Are there any brand differances?

OK, so no help from here

I found a local company which can offer me Eibach's System2 12 mm spacers.

I do not even know the price yet, what could they cost?

Any comment on these?

I put 10mm Eibach spacers on my rears about 2 weeks ago. Cost me the equivalent of 120 Euros including bolts & installation.

I recieved yesterday a local offer for H&R spacers.

The 20 mm (2x10mm) DRS-system (including bolts) would cost ?122, 30 mm would cost ?138.
They are not legal in Finland, but they have the German TUV approvement!

Furtermore, this racing guy says that the force to the bearings is minimal and often, he says, it will improve the driving characteristics.

Anybody have a comment on this and should I go for the 20 or 30 mm spacers
with 245/40 18" wheels on the rear axel?
