    8mm hub-centric spacers vibration

    Anyway... I should have had zero problems as the H&R spacer I purchased ared double centered, removed dust cap to provide 100% spacer-brakedisc contact, extended ball seat bolts... Probably I am mad for this and it is allrelated to a bad wheel balance. Thanks!

    8mm hub-centric spacers vibration

    Did you have to remove the dust cap for the wheel bearing? Or do they fit perfectly? I have seen som images on the ST website and it looks like you first have to remove the dustcap and then place the spacer. Once the spacer is placed you can put the dust cap against the spacer. I am right?

    8mm hub-centric spacers vibration

    Sorry, I wanted to say bolts. Not using lugs at all... FWD Cars have dust caps to protect the bearing. Awd ones like the S3 or the Quattro A3 do not have dust caps as they have the axle...I guess the bearing is different too. I had to remove the cap so the spacer fit into properly...

    S-LINE Springs questions

    Sorry, it looks like our Technical Data Sheets I have seen show "running order weight". This means Driver weight too. Anyway the weight difference is more than 100 Kg from my car. Will this explain the "no lowering" when using the S3 Saloon Springs? I have checked the ETKA and both frontand rear...
