Just installed my set of spacers. Thanks to BarryB for piloting this mod and sharing his sizing. I also went with 12mm up front and 10mm on rear.

Is this just for looks, or does it help performance?

Looks so much more proportional.

I have an extra set of 12mm macht schnell's for sale in the classifieds!

looks great. thanks for the before and after photos

I have heard that they increase the stability and handling. Obviously it gives you a slightly wider stance so in theory i would say that those statements do have some gravity. My main focus was the aesthetical factor.

do you need longer bolts / nuts ?

Looks great! Really nice stance! From the pics it looks like you are also lowered?
