New C63 - Spacers

[ryan2476]

Hi All,

Is anyone on here running spacers on their new cars yet and if so what mm?

Any pics or information would be great.

I'm keen to aim for about 15mm but never done it before so not sure what to expect.

Many thanks
Ryan

Brand new C63 designed by the best motor engineers in the world and you want to put spacers on

Why do you need spacers?

Hi All,

Why play about with the geometry which it took a fully qualified design team several years to get right?

Any pics or information would be great.

See above

Expect bad handling, excessive wear on bearings and the noise to accompany this, and tram-lining down the road.

Many thanks
Ryan

More than welcome.

Great welcome to a new member

As you may guess, many (including me are against them). It is purely a cosmetic change with associated risks. You'll need to wait for the aftermarket manufacturers to start making this stuff. For now they are busy targeting the end of lease previous generation C63s.

Welcome Ryan, I don't have C63, old or new BUT I do have a CLS which I have spacers fitted to. The thing to consider (apart form all the above), is when choosing the spacers make sure they are hubcentric and get decent branded ones, H&R, Eibach etc.
I have ran them on several cars, with no issues, if your car is set up right, ie once they are fitted make sure you get the tracking and camber sorted out. There will always be horror stories of when things go wrong with modded cars, as very seldom no one comes onto the forum stating they have had a trouble free month of motoring, bah blah blah!
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
