Morning all,......... Can anyone ( who knows what they are talking about) please tell me how the 20mm s/frame spacers actually feel on track ? Is the bump steer noticable ? and is there anyway of compensating/dialing it out ? The headers i am using call for the spacer, but i don't want to ruin the handling ? The old turd has gaz golds all round, 15"888's,2.7 z3 rack...........thanks in advance

It's litterly two holes in a block about 15cm long

If I can under the car I'll send you the specs, would be about £10 to have a machine shop to do it for you
