[QUOTE="Paul C7 to C8, post: 321078, member: 3849"] Over the past decade I have had Eibach hub-centric spacers on both a Jaguar XKR and a 68 Mustang Fastback. Direct bolt on with no modification required, and zero issues in years of driving. If memory serves me correctly, I believe that in both cases they were 1/2" spacers, (just in the rears) not an overly aggressive amount. While I appreciate the fact that they do put a bit more strain on the suspension. But, unless you are a serious track user, I would not be overly concerned with using a [B][I]G[/I][/B][I][B]ood,[/B][/I][B][I] Name Brand[/I][/B] product, and, I do believe that with most performance cars, (as they may be tracked) the suspension components can and will handle much greater stresses than simply driving down the road with spacers.... the C8 is in hibernation now but I'm pretty sure that it too shall receive rear spacers.... prob 1/2".... I can't speak for the experiences of others, but my experiences have been just fine. After driving a couple of weeks with the spacers, I had the rear alignment checked and had no issue with either car, and, I did not experience any premature or uneven tire wear. Torque as recommended and recheck every 6 - 8mos. Modern spacers are a viable option, I can only speak to the brand I had and to them being only 1/2", so, in my opinion, not an overly aggressive width to add. [/QUOTE]
