JCW H&R Spacer Review

H&R Spacer Review
So I didn't really like the look of the stock wheels and how they aligned with wheel wells etc. After reviewing lots of reviews etc. online of pro's and con's of spacers I decided to go ahead with 12mm fronts and 15mm rears. I ordered
H&R Spacers 2455664 and 3055664. I don't know the part number for the lugs. I did a google search for the part number and the cheapest place that came up was Race Consulting agency. I talked to a sales guy and he told me he could sell me H&R lugs/studs as well. 2x weeks later I got everything vie fedx package.
My initial impression is that the studs they sold me were longer than necessary. Ie when I compared the olds studs to the new and the depth of the spacers the new studs were unnecessarily long. I installed with grease on face of spacers (I read online that it helps keep them from sticking long term), from what I could tell the spacers didn't contact anything after tightening. I tightened studs to 101lbs with torque wrench.
I could be wrong on this, but I do feel it changes the ride...
-Cornering feels more planted?
-Turn in zig zag back and forth feels slower or more damped?
-The car feels less tippy?
-Road noise increased?
-Car looks much better.
Not sure if anyone else who has installed spacers can chime in on any of these points or things they've noticed.

Looks good we sell the H&R spacers, but more of our WMW 15mm spacers as they are much more cost effective.

I just wish I could find everyone looking for wheel spacers before they get H&R, they are just expensive for what they are so I try to make mine very cost effective.
