I tried Bavarian Specialties but they haven't gotten back to me yet. Does anyone know of another source for these aluminum spacers?

Mike Yaskin's shop does regular maintenance so I'm sure he is busy but he will eventually get back to you. If he is not interested in making any spacers, let me know and I'll get my friend's machine shop to run a few sets.

EDIT: For an example of his work:

BavSpec is where I got mine, but it took a bunch of calls and emails to get Mike to send them out to me. Either he is really busy, really lazy, or really stoned. Either way, keep trying and I'm sure you'll get them eventually.

Looks like Bucktown speedshop does nice work. Thanks Ed!!! You can add my name to the list for a set of bump-steer spacers if a run is going to happen.

Thanks,

Bavarian is the only place to get them w/o copying. Korman has them for a 2002, but that's all.

The spacer is also the only parts business he has. As mentioned above, he's primarily a repair shop, so the spacers don't hardly pay the bills and he'll get to it when he feels like it.

I was lucky, one call and I had them in a few days.

Also, I had alignment checked before and after. There was no change.

I was going to suggest Korman as another source but it looks like someone already tried. I do not want to take business away from Mike Yaskin, especially since he is an E28 guy. I'll do a run only if Mike chooses not to.

I called again today and got ahold of Mike. He's sending me out a set. :) If you want yours I'd call him asap while he's putting mine together.
