H&R spacers are causing one of my wheels to wobble.

My car was on the dyno last weekend. Noticed one rear wheel was wobbling bad. I took off the H&R rear spacer and the wheel turned fine. Guess the product is messed up. Guess I can't complain since I got mine for free... It was worth what I spent.

If you got them for free, I think you just found out why they were given away. The one part my not be indicitive of all H&R spacers.

Were they used? The one may have gotten bent somplace in it life. Kinda harsh to label H&R junk because of one bad part. That's like saying all 4.6's are junk because spark plugs blow out of some heads. Maybe the spacer came from a bad batch and sliped through quality control. There's a lot of possibilities.

I'm with tjm73 on this one. Also, I do have H&R spacers since a year now without any problems.

Yeah, you could do that if you've got $$$ lying around for the rims and the new tires you'll also need..

Otherwise a set of 1" Eibach Pro Spacers fixes the hideous "hulking over-bodied" look in the back.

Looks even better with a bit of a drop.
