Widening the Track with H&R spacers (questions)

[blu_fl5_ctr]

Prior to purchase I thought I was confident I didn't have to do any modifications.
On the box it says "must shorten existing lugs"?
Does anyone have any experience with this?
My set up is 20mm on rear and 15mm on front. The 20mm box makes the shortening claim. The other box the label is in German.

Yeah, the spacers have their own lug bolts, but depending on how thick the spacer is, the existing lug bolts on your car might be too long and not let your wheel sit flush. Time stamped youtube link here to show you what I mean:

You should be fine with the 20mm. The 15mm may or may not need some trimming.

Have you noticed any difference in ride quality, I'm also looking at 15 front, 20 rears...

Do you notice a difference on the street with the 20mm..steering, handling?

No handling difference of note. As i only do street driving its hard to tell as car was only 6 weeks old when i did the mod.

thanks for the reply, and I get it someone asked me the difference with spoon springs and I said the same... Love the drop and ride but can't compare with stock as I didn't get much seat time

Does anyone know what's the widest spacer I could install in order to use the stock studs? Meaning....in case if I dont want to install the spacer system with extra studs on it.

In the past, on other Hondas, people have used 5mm.
