Anyone know who has them in stock?
Thanks in advance!

check with wheelpower in huntington beach. they had some in stock. i think vegastrashed bought his from them when we had the meet last week.
Nope they're all out! Thanks for the suggestion though
They recommended calling Art at KroeneN Tuning (510) 687 9201 he didn't have them, he suggested calling John at Conversion Techniques (510) 639 0911 he didn't have any either!
Auto Anything are also out.
Nuts!
Anyone Else with suggestions?

We were told by a Wheel Power representative that they have all H&R spacers in stock at the Wheel Power Meet this last Saturday. Unfortunately, it isn't the case. All they have in stock are 5mm, 10mm, and 15mm.
The 12mm I have I bought from Rizbel. They're made by a local company in Socal called Ichiba USA.

Do they drive nice with those spacer? Any Vibrations?

I have to recommend the 15mm spacers if you really want something now. I have 20mm (which I put on by mistake after switching from other wheels). They look nice. The 3 mm difference between 12mm and 15mm translates into only 1/8".
H&Rs are really good with vibration. As long as they are exactly 72.56mm, you should not have any vibration issues.

I found the 12mm Eibach Pro-Spacers in stock at www.drivewire.com as noted above, has anyone had any experience with them?
Everyone seems to be using H&R, a couple of vendors I spoke to said the Eibach Pro-Spacers were actually machined at the same shop as the H&R's.
Any more info/expereince with them, anyone?
Thanks
Ewan

I'm a little hesitant suggesting people with 166 wheels put on 15mm or greater spacers. I took a good look at my rear wheels prior to removing my wheel to replace the 10mm with 12mm. There isn't much room for the wheel and tire to fit inside the wheel well under compression.
Brian1225 has almost the same setup as mine. Both have H&R Sport springs, 167 instead of 166 (same wheel dimensions and offsets), 12mm H&R spacers, and 285/30/19 tires. He had to ROLL his fenders to accommodate the rear wheels and tires. The only thing preventing me from rolling my fender is I have 275/30/19 tires.
