    Re: New Vorshlag products?

    Is that a spherical bearing in the rear shock mount? How large? Is there anyway you can get them to flip the setup so that you can remove it from the car from outside (ala GC) for ease of use? Shouldn't be too difficult.

      FYI, I'm pretty sure that will only fit 2004 STi's. I believe the 2005-up STi's have a 5x114.3 hub. I don't know if other Subaru products changed to the new spacing or not.

      Obfuscation usually requires a lot more words than if you simply focus on fundamental principles, so I’m not at all surprised by the loquaciousness of liberals.

        We can have them made in other bolt patterns, not a problem. Ok, there's one problem, you have to order a lot of them to get them made in different sizes.

          Just thinking (which actually hurts).... but... could you order some blanks with varying hub sizes... and then have a jig to drill out the correct / necessary bolt spacing? I'm sure that's what they do (albiet with a $$$$ CNC machine).

            Order them, ship to us, receive them, then re-machine them at a local shop? All for a $50-60 pair of spacers? Not enough profit potential in them for this kind of hassle...

            We will likely have a custom run of 10mm thick hubcentric spacers for BMWs, since they only normally make 5mm and 18mm thick 5-lug BMW options. This would then give us the 3 typical wheel spacer thicknesses for 5-lug BMWs.

              I would consider this to be 'custom' and subject to additional charges.
