Default wheel spacers on the front?

Yes, I did do a search first

Thinking of buying some of the Eibach 15mm hubcentric spacers for the front wheels. Are they safe? (assuming I use a longer stud). Any info would be great!

I've been running 12mm spacers for over 2 years now. I've had over a dozen track days and even more time at the drag strip. Haven't had any problems. Eibach and H&R are both reputable companies. Just make sure you use the provided extended studs/lugs.

If you are running longer ARP-quality studs and they are torqued down correctly, does it matter the quality of the spacer? I'm using the cheapo Doorman from Autozone.
