can u install wheel spacers on rear drums, since the base models have a drum in the back...does any one know. cause thinking about buying some

thanks,eric

 

Actually I'd be curious too- I have rear drums too. Lol that sounds dirty.

"yo check out my drums yo"

 

haha...if we can get someone to answer this for us, that will be great for a good stance on the base model with lower springs

 

Of course you can. You're wheel mounts to the drums exactly like it mounts on your rotor. Anything over 5mm and you're going to need longer studs.

 

What's the point besides a 10mm wider stance?

 

 

5mm isnt that thick tho...

 

why would u need to get longer studs...if the spacers already has studs on them

 

It depends on the size of the spacer. If you're running a big enough spacer that it had studs in the spacers as well then you won't need longer studs.

 

do have spacers....if so, wat sizes are urs

 

10mm wider on a car thats 5-6 feet wide doesn't really seem necessary unless you're trying to squeeze something in behind the rim like a Brembo Kit...

 

so a 5mm, would be better and safe

 

id go atleast ten

it also depends on the rims your running...if you have an ide how much more you want your wheels out, just measure 6mm is 1/4 inch

 

for instance with my tc rims to get my tire flush i would need about an 8ish

 

should get rear disc brakes first cause you'll get made fun of for them I know I'd make fun of any car I saw with drums that thought their **** was hot LOL.

 

loser...

 

5mm would be safe on stock studs

This. I run 8mm and extended studs. They're pretty flush.

You're kidding right?

 

aww do you have drums

nope

 

Tons of people run drums. What's the big deal? A car can look nice with drums, it really isn't a big deal.

 

because outside of your bubble you live in, you will get laughed at, drum is synonymous with base model...just the way it is...

 

So you'd laugh at a 2.2 putting down 300 or 400whp? You sir, are an idiot.

 

and not having the ability to stop from it, LOL!

 

Drums would be fine I would think... Id also though, if going to over 300 horsepower and using it.. lol... get some solid brembo big brakes up front. Cant laugh too much at those...

 

Personally, i think drums hold up for breaking better than disks for small cars. In a heavy ass full size its needed, but on a compact....ehhh.. I had an 07 ss/sc, have a 2.2 ls, and screwed around in a ss/na. I just felt more breaking and hold in the ls vs the ss/na with rear disks. Altho brembos will be better than stock reguardless. But thats just me. All around disks look way much better. Just depends if you like looks or not. Ither way, its your car. Not no one elses.
