Which Spacers?

Just about to get spacers for my 2012 F13 M6. Which ones are recommended? I am considering Eibach, H and R or Macht Schnell. Also what width to get. I am thinking 10mm front and 15mm rear. Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers

Brian

I would recommend the macht schnell ones and I would go with a 12 up front and a 10 mm in the rear.

Feel free to PM me is you have any questions.

This car we did 12 all around.

Heard complaints of cars without the Comp Pack control arms and Match Schnell spacers. Something to do with steering wheel vibrations. I did H&R 10mm all around on my F13 M6 Comp Pack just to be safe and they've been great after 8k miles.

I have the H&R's on my car. 10mm in front and 15mm at the rear.
No problems. No vibrations.

Thank you very much Chaps that is really helpful. I wont go too wide 10mm looks fine. If anyone has had any problems it would be great if they could let me know. Any new feedback on the KW HAS would also be appreciated. Thanks again.

Cheers

Brian

I like Weilheim No1!
Twitch: are comp pack control arms a straight fit onto 2012 cars?
Also I gather some spacers fit onto the hub and the wheel onto the spacer whereas others have longer bolts and fit through spacer onto hub is this correct?

I am currently thinking 10mm all round however the 12 mm look good as do the 10/15!
Cheers

I believe Hunter and Noushy have the CP control arms and anti roll bars on their non-CP cars, should be a straight fit. The H&R spacers have a lip that fits flush in the beveled socket of the stock wheels.

Twitch. Do you think CP control arms and roll bars would make a difference, is it worth doing? Cheers Brian

Control bars and sway bars should reduce some body roll but I'm not sure if the difference would be huge. I would ask Hunter to be sure since he has made that swap.
