Manuel Kasko Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey guys 2 questions hoping you can help. Found a set of bushes from overseas for my HSD coilovers but they don't come with the crush tubes? Also my car has a set of shitty eBay special rims with shocking offset. Is there a way of bringing them flush with the guard because I have no idea about the suspension side of things.

Manuel Kasko Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Cheers so I just work out how many mm I want them to come out and buy that size spacer or is it more complicated then that **edit** All good with the coilovers I can re use the old tubes it seems Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/399809-hsd-coilover-bushes-and-offset/#findComment-6351313 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkRyda Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Spacers are fine as long as you get good ones or else you will experience steering vibrations when hitting over certain speeds such as 80km/h etc... The other thing you might want to consider if your puting "slip on" spacers as apposed to bolt on ones, is that the studs on your hubs might not be long enough if the spacer is too thick making it dangerous. You might need to replace your current hub studs with extended studs.

Cheers mate yeah I read about the APR studs etc. Think I might just save up for some nice offset rims Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/399809-hsd-coilover-bushes-and-offset/#findComment-6352010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
