I'm sorry I can't address the 5mm spacers, but I put 7's on the front and 15's on the rear. As was pointed out above about the 5's, there really isn't that much to them (7 mm is pretty small), but they DO seem to help fill out the wheel well and the 15s on the back make a definite difference. THey're H&R's purchased from Paragon Products....total including longer bolts $282. BUT.... Paragon and I had quite a long (like two month) misunderstanding about what I was ordering (long story and it was completely and totally settled with both sides happy), and I got a pretty good discount, including free shipping.... so I doubt you'd be able to get them for the same price.

As far as any handling improvement, I'll let you know after the next DE in June... OMG is it really that long till the next DE!
