[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 601321, member: 15"] I had added spacers to my ride recently, all I can say its a great mod not only for looks but improves the cars handling. Adding spacer to the front actually reduces understeer, giving the car more bite. Depending on how thick the spacer is, it may or may not affect the "turn in" ability of the car. My front offset has increased by about 10mm compared to ori (5mm due to different wheel, plus a 5mm spacer) and and I do not feel the "turn in" is affected but the speed I can carry around corners has increased tremendously. Basically a wider track width, will make the car more stable around corners. If you look at the evolution of the 3 series, the car has become wider and wider. In the E90, the track width is almost similar to the E46 M3 and then the LCI got another 20mm wider at the rear. Now the F30 is even wider!! [/QUOTE]
