Re: [gti-vr6] Spacer Dilemma

Interestingly enough, I am running H&R coilovers with 5mm spacers on the
*FRONT*. The rears have no rubbing, and neither do the fronts with the
spacers.

Kristin/Mike Potter were kind enough to call H&R and get precise info as
far as spacers for my 95 GLX.

I've been very happy with the handling and the response, but my spine was
complaining for a few days.
