Got my edition 30 on eibach sportlines and want to now look at getting some wheels spacers to help with the stance of the car. What brand of spacers and size can people recommend? Any info would be a great help
Thanks

I have the Forge ones. I've been running them for 3 years now with no problems.

Had H&R 15mm rear and 10 mm front on mine, lowered on B12 kit. Perfect IMO
Since having S3 hubs and TT control arms I no longer use spacers on the front

Thanks for the info
Do you know if I will have any rubbing issues if I go for that set up with the sportline springs? Also with 15 rear and 10 front, is that in total or is that per spacer, per wheel?
Sorry in advance (I'm a newbie to vw scene)

That's 15mm & 10mm per side, so 30 & 20 per axle. Not sure how low the eibachs are. No problems with rubbing with my 30mm drop

The Eibachs are 25mm front, 20mm rear.
You will be fine with 10mm front, 15mm rear. There are loads of options with spacers. I am going to use TPI on ours.

Could I just do the 15mm back spacers one their own, and get the front ones at a later date? Or is it not a good idea?

I'd be tempted to have the same size front and rear, otherwise you're effectively changing the track so it's wider at the back.
