It's been quite awhile since some people here installed the HR spacer on the 03s' stock rims to match the rear fender. And some others used the spacer for clearance issues. So, I guess it is time to let us know how you feel about the spacers. Both negative and positive oponions are welcome. Weak link or Not? Pour out your thought.
Feedback on the H&R spacer.

There are know negative ways they work awesome I was first guy to put them on a 03 cobra over a year and a half ago. The one inch spacer on a stock wheel is what you want.

Grnenvy, I completely agree. I was concerned at first, but they have performed well. The 1" spacers on stock rims make the rear look similar to the front. It should have come from the factory this way.
Absolutely! My car looked kinda whack till i brought the rear tires to the fender. I'm using a one inch on the rears only. Mine are not H&R's though...They're a 1" Billet Aluminum spacer from mustangwarehouse.com They fit well and are of high quality- $40 or 50 less than the H&R's too.
Any pictures?
Ok, click on my "www" button on the bottom bar. The bottom 3 pics show the spacers effect the best. Lemme know whatcha think.
I love mine. No issues with them at all. They look great.
Looks really good! Any rubbing issues with the fender at all?
Also, are there any draw backs to using a spacer?

No rubbing, its lowered 1.5" too. Only drawback is not havin' 'em.
I love em, after seeing other stangs without them I just feel bad.. Mustang don't look right without the rears pushing out. They're nice on my my 1" ones are nice on my 17x8 but would be perfect on a 17x9 with a 275 in back.. a 315 Nitto DR is a bit much I think.
This shot is temporary, my buddy took a quick picture.. I have some 03 Cobra 17x9 wheels with Nitto DRs 315 on back with a H&R 1" spacer.. if the car sat a little lower maybe but with the KB springs I dunno.. looks ok in person but :shrug:

where is the best place to get them ?
www.livermoreperformance.com in California. Very nice bunch of guys!! I bought the new Eibach wheel spacers from them and they said they look and weigh exactly the same. I love them!!
Eibach is high quality and they are a little cheaper than the H&R's.

Are these spacers hubcentric?
I've had them since Sep/Oct '03 and I love them. Easy install, easy removal. I love the look of my car from the rear now too. See sig!
