Those are huge spacers. Deff not for Stock Cars. You would need really long studs for those to work.

If you do both spend the money and get coilovers

i want to keep my factory rims. the only rim id put on would be EAPs if i ever changed.
i know that is a huge spacer. but my buddy has 1.5in on his 1.8t jetta with a minimal drop and it looks killer. you can clearly see the back tires when he is coming down the road towards you.
im not comparing a focus and a jetta im just saying thats the look im going for.
im gona have to do some investigation and see what will fit.
the last thing i wana do is have the tire hit the fender and crinkle it. but sum rubbing is ok and i can always get the fenders rolled sum

i hear ya on having the flush look to the car, just dont over to it thats all.
i would do something like a 20-30 mm spacer, that would give you some nice flush/poke where as going with more would just be over done. if your lowering the car a bit also, you mite want to not correct the camber or even make more camber to tuck the wheel in when you bounce. also get some really stiff springs and adjustable shocks. the KW springs i have for sale are the stiffest you will find without going coil over. get some KYB AGX or koni yellows to go with them aswell to keep it super stiff.

they are rough because they are stiff. personally i liked em, gave a really nice feel for the road. softer then coilovers forsure and would be a nice match on svt struts too.

I thought you're like a die-hard really dude or something. :ph34r:
You're choosing major show over functionality. Not sure how wheel bearings are going to like this.
Never liked spacers so I always stayed away from them. In a long run they ain't good. Get wider rims like Jamie said. Just do it right first time. ;)
