Default Bolt-on spacers, what are my options?

I'm looking at 15mm and 20ishmm options. I'd prefer the bolt-on type w/ pressed studs so I don't have to mess w/ installing longer studs on the car.

RUF makes some nice ones. I saw them on a 964 when I was in Pfaffenhausen last year. Looked awesome.

15mm

21mm

I believe Adaptec's Design 3 spacers are the setup i'm looking for. They do not list those spacers in the sizes I need, but I'll send them an email about a made-to-order set.

Is that for your OEM Cup II's? If so, I will be curious to see a photo of your car with the spacers installed

Wow, surprisingly a low price for bolt on RUF spacers. Theres also H&R, Eibach, and Vertex makes their own.

I was initially considering the Vertex ones, but the RUF are actually cheaper. EDIT:Actually nevermind, RUF price was per piece not per pair, so Vertex is still cheaper.

Does it really say they're sold individually?

I'm no expert, but I have seen these fitted to a C2 recently and they looked like a good quality product.

And they come as a pair!

I bought this last years => http://www.fvd.net/us/en/Porsche-0/9...ized_1pc..html

I would recommend it. Those are made by H&R and it's high quality spacer. All bolt-on start @15mm.

More size available: http://www.fvd.net/us/en/Porsche-0/9...0/Spacers.html

Well it says per piece, and excluding 19% VAT ~ tax for us.

If they come from europe, you will not be charged the VAT, but I guess there will be some import duty when they get to the US.

Default h&r trak adapters

I just ordered some H&R Trak adapters as I also didn't want the hassle of R&R the studs.

I get them delivered next Wednesday so I will report back on my experience.

Here they are with the 21mm H&R bolt on spacers. I could probably have gotten away with 18mm, as these rub a bit (had to roll the fenders).

Fit is perfect now. The car handles like a completely different car vs. 17" Cup 1s that I used to have.

Sorry for gigantic picture.

I think what i'm gonna do is order a pair of 15mm (probably from Vertex) and see how they work on the front and the back. If it looks like I can still push it further in the rear, i'll get a set of 18mm or 21mm for the rear and put the 15mm on the front. We'll see. Still gotta get some other stuff done before I get on to this.
