I'm running 10mm H&R's on the rear of my ED30, look great with no rubbing issues  :happy2:
Longer bolts and lockers required, oem bolt length is 26.7mm iirc, i'm using 40mm H&R bolts and 41mm McGard lockers

What's the difference between the spacers Wheelman sells and the Eibach or H&R items?

Having not used the others it's difficult to comment but I have now had two seperate garages (one being VWR) that have commented on how well made they are and what a snug fit they are!  :happy2:
