Which Brand of Spacers for Mk7 Golf?

[jdw]

Hi, I am thinking of getting some spacers to "increase" the stance of my Mk 7. What do members recommend H&R or ECS Tuning ?

Both equally as good

You have 0 idea about them to be honest.

Spacers change the offset of your wheels, closer to guard.

They have 0 effect on suspension and 0 effect on handling. Unless you use a 100mm spacer your tyres will rub on guards.

Worth noting illegal as well.

Obviously not likely to be a roadside issue unless you were outside the guard, but a quick way for an insurance company to avoid a payout on a claim.

If stance is critical I'd just go for a wheel with a better offset to save the issue on a Mk7, unless it's a weekend toy and the risk of loss does not matter.

Can someone explain to this noon exactly what the spacers do, how they impact ride quality and handling, and what the pros and cons are over spring replacement?

I've a bit of an idea about them, but don't want to make any assumptions!

Sorry I can't help answer the question...

thanks for your valuable contribution in answering the question !!

Yes, definitely illegal in Victoria — don't know about other states but probably.

Most likely because they can make wheels project beyond the guards, and also because people are likely to fit them with the standard bolts.

Illegal nationwide unless factory fitted to the vehicle IE Porsches have them
