I am still running the 10mm on the rears - the steering vibration is gone but I will likely end up taking those off as well. After my experience it is hard for me to believe that so many on this forum claim they are running spacers with no issues at all. I stopped short of doing a stud conversion and alignment as I just didn't feel it was worth it. Maybe I'm just a buffoon but I've installed spacers on my old 335 without any issues, this one has me stumped..
I heard future classic spacers were much better but front vibration after installing spacers can also be cause by weak FCAB's. Switching to a monoball or poly FCAB can fix it.
