They are currently on my car and the handling has improved dramatically.
If i can get a large enough group of people together (approx 10) who would like to purchase a set of these spacer kits (kit will come with every thing required to fit) i could get them for around $80 per kit. Which is quite a substantial saving when compared to the cost of my spacers (one off, for now)
comments and suggestions appreciated

Are you running anything on the front?
Also what offset rims are you running?
Keep in mind that most guys that have aftermarket rims are running a slightly wider track due to the std off set being ET52mm and and aftermarket rims being anywhere between ET35mm and ET42mm as they are more common, as well as they are going to a 7" wide rim.

Thats the NSW view on spacers

I belive he is talking about spacers that are mounted behind the hub mount, which spaces out the whole brake assembly. If it is i don't think it would ever get picked up, but could still be illigal?
There actually is a ford racing part that mounts there, but i think they're a whopping 25mm wide :evil3:
Also arn't, the disc and drum are the same mount on the Fez where the hub is part of the drum or the disc? i'm still waiting on that list of MK1 focus parts

If these are the type that sits behind the stub i'd be in for sure. Any chance of getting them wider too??
