Thank you sir... I am almost thinking i might want to go 12MM. Your ride/handling hasnt changed at all correct?

No changes at all. Id love to see pics of your 12s, if you go that route.

PetrolFumes · 07-15-2014, 09:11 PM

Anyone else here going 12mm??

JPMD · 07-16-2014, 03:38 PM

I've ordered the 12mm for my comp pkg. M5 from Turner Motorsport. I'll try and post pre and post pictures. I'm little worried about the rear little tight but will give it a try.

PhilT3 · 07-16-2014, 11:08 PM

I think I'm going with 12's all around. I think the rears could be pushed out just a hair more...

My Macht Schnell 12f/10r spacers are arriving Thursday, my beast is non-cp. After installation, does the beast need rebalancing? Some folks had reported steering vibration above 80mph.

I had mine rebalanced, just for good measure, after I had Macht Schnell 10s installed all around. My shop did a test to check alignment and camber changes as well. There was a little negative camber on the front, but it was so minimal, my guy said no need to be concerned.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Will do the same. Getting them installed next Tuesday, can't wait for the more aggressive stance.

Indeed! The stance is impressive!

JPMD · 08-26-2014, 09:32 PM

Guys I'll try and post some Pics having spacers installed this week.

Changed from Turner 12 all around to Macht Schnell 12F & 10 R. Was worried about 12 rear for my comp pkg car (might be too tight)

JPMD · 08-28-2014, 07:50 PM

Got the spacers on today M5 with comp pkg
12 front and 10 back as was recommended by EAS

fits & looks great; will try to post pics the weekend of before and after.

Was worried that 12mm back would be to tight given the lowered comp pkg suspension. Looks like 12 would fig but probably to aggressive for me. The 12 front and 10 rear squares off the 4 corners very well.

will also post on any noticeable difference in ride characteristics. So far feels good.

Thanks Didn't rebalance feels good.

PhilT3 · 08-30-2014, 02:50 PM

@JPMD

Looks great!

I went 12 all around and I'm glad I did. I prefer a little more aggressive look.

I'll post pics ASAP.

Really nice!
What brand spacers did you use?
Do you have comp pkg, is your car lowered or standard stock?
