Spacer's (Purchase & Install) Seattle Area

CEW · 05-20-2011, 03:31 PM

I am considering spacers and was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a shop in the Seattle area with a good price for purchase and installation. I realize they are not hard to install, but I would just rather have someone else do it.

Also, are there brands that I should stay away from and brands that have a very good reputation?

get whatever that is the cheapest and i would just try discount tire or something they might just do it for free...

Interesting. I just called Les Schwab, Big O' Tires, and Discount Tires to see if any of them sell and install spacers and none of them do. Perhaps they don't want to take on any liability with the potential damange they could do.

I probably shouldn't even be considering them, but they do look good

Achtuning sells H&R spacers at a great price. I would hit them up. They can install too.

yes those chains do not deal with with spacers coz they want to be held responsible(*cough cough* some people using stock length bolts)

but yea them good lads at Achtuning will have them in stock. give them a ring just to be sure they have 5x120 instock.
save yourself 50 bucks and install it yourself, drive for a few miles, retighten them bolts.

ordered my macht schnell spacers from european auto source (link below). great service and timely delivery. they include the necessary longer lug bolts.

had them installed at group 2 since i was already there getting my springs installed, but you could go anywhere that uses a torque wrench rather than just a gun on the lugs. tight n' tidy in renton would be a good place. they do good work.
