Wanted to share this. Pic of my 2010 JCW Clubman with NM Eng Lowering Springs & 15mm H&R spacers on all four corners. No rubbing to report. Much improved ride quality & feel. Very pleased with these two mods.

 

I like it. Do the spacers require longer studs?

 

Longer studs would be prudent. This combo with the stock JCW 17 works like it was designed to.

 

Any issues with camber? Or are you not worrying about uneven tire wear, if any?

 

Installed lower adjustable rear control arms. Runing 1.75- in the rear. The arms are needed.

 

Fronts have no issues? Drop looks good, btw

 

No issues in the front either. The car feels much better now. The 22mm bar (softest setting) improves turn in even at low speeds. Really could not be more pleased with this combo mod. Might do a NM front strut tower bar next for good measure. Then the suspension should be sorted as far as i want to go.

 

Thanks for the complements! Stoked with this car. Really want a full leather JCW steering wheel and shift **** next.

 

It looks awesome! Did you add the bump stop kit?

 

Yeah. It drives like a completely different car. Less wheel spin on corner exit & much less body roll. Thought about buying the bump stop kit but it was not needed. Just trimmed the OEM stops per instructions. Its really transformed the car and the cool thing is you could do this with a base clubmen with the same results. Not sure how it would play out on smaller rims but if im not getting any rub on 17s anything smaller should be fine. The spacers do a nice job pushing out the rims well into the arch and give the car a really aggressive look - and picked up 30mm additional track f/r. It was a gamble but we now know it works - phew

 

I don't have a clubman but I'm doing the same route after Chad from DT told me try the springs first. Now I was looking at the same thing as you on the spacers, just think I might go the 15mm or 20mm if its possible. I want it to ride and handle great!
