So would you guys recommend the H&R DRM (bolt on ones, more expensive) or the DRS (replacement studs, cheaper) spacers? Which ones have the least, if any, vibration when installed?

You can use different spacers on the front and rear and it will not bother the AWD system,?

The ride on Eibach will undoubtedly stiffen the ride because the lowering the car. IMO it's definitely worth it though for the lower stance and increased handling. I'd also recommend a camber kit so you can be sure your alignment is back within spec.

Simpson, have you had anything problems with rubbing in the rear with the 25mm spacers? And are you using bolt ons or replacement lug spacers? Any vibrations?

agreed on the stiffer ride, but better handling

no rubbing, but i havent got an alignment yet. doing that on friday

my front spacers vibrate a little at 110km/h, but the rears don't as far as i can tell. they are the bolt on type. i might go up to 20mm in the front soon.

What is causing this vibration I keep hearing about? That's the only thing keeping me from buying these. Don't want to deal with that annoyance.

not tightening them down properly, wrong torques, not in a slowly increasing sequence

mostly just the fact that the tolerances will never be 100% and there is some slight play between the hubring/spacer/bolts/wheel

Oh man that makes me more excited now! I just installed my eibach pk and it looks amazing already! I'm so happy with the results

I think I'm going to get H&R 20mmF and 25mmR
