Advice on wheel spacers and sway bars needed!

[Lars]

For starters, many thanks for your replies!!

So, at least for the sway bar I got my answer! If you know where I would be able to get one of them here in Germany I'm all ears (or eyes)! :) And which one? There's a recent thread where two were suggested, white line and TRD... white line seems more customizable, but TRD seemed a lot easier to install... and since I'm probably gonna do it myself... I'm leaning for the TRD.

Now... for the spacers... I'm getting mixed signals from you guys :)
While you said that you ran 25mm in the rear and it wasn't too much... then you said that hub spacers are safer and easier to install... so what would you go for if you were me? Or, in other words, what would you go for if you didn't have much know-how, nor many tools, and you want something that would be relatively simple to install (but I'm willing to learn and read fwiw...).

Thanks again!

I said "usually are considered safer" because people give wheel spacers a bad name. I have no problem with them and never had but people install the extended studs incorrectly, dont apply proper torque settings, dont check their bolts or lugs ever so the spacers cause those people problems and they like to blame the spacer. If you have that same negative feeling towards them then the hub spacer may be better for you. I have torque wrenches and work on my car all the time so I know when I install them theyre good and i always check them.

Also I was adding to what Wee said about 10mm being a perfect starter size. If you decide 10 is where you'd like to start then you have the option of going with a hub spacer instead of a wheel spacer.
