not low but the goal is to get some stock body slammage. blown coilovers and 50 sidewall FTL.

 

Not much but it's a working progress

 

That is fabreeze fresh man.... Pleeaasse tell me those are 15 oh my goodness I just got some and was looking for this same effect.... Nice job.

 

nice vert definatly want mine to wear the same kit

 

******* money.

 

they are indeed 15's. 15x8 -10, 15x7 +0.

i need legit non-blown suspension to go lower. these old Tein HR's suck mean *****. no monnies though so the FC's gonna keep sitting as is bouncing on hard on the freeways.

thanks man.



i'd like to ONE DAY have the stock lip just a tad bit closer to the floor like you kitted guys. but it's pretty brutal driving around speed bumps and such as is.

 

what happen to the risky devil rx7's? i don't see them anymore and i miss them :-(

 

i know right?
that na is the hotness

installed my silkroads since i posted last. they dump out but not quite hard enough.



im thinking of getting rid of these old things and going with brand new d2's or pbm's
whats ride quality on pbms?
anyone on here have a set of d2's their fc?
pbm dumps from what ive heard but my buddy has them on his rhd and doesnt really like them.
plus their played out.

 

Spacers maid your rims look way good... I like the flush finder flush spoke look, to the max nice job man

 

I think it needs more dish. But, with what you've got, I agree, looks good. And it's in-the-******* dumped.

 

ive daily driven the car on coils for the last 3 years.
i know ride quality sucks with coils its just some ride better than others
d2's in my friends s13 and on anothers is300 ride super nice but i mean if their breaking in half under track use than screw that.
i might go with them powered by max.

daviticus:
look for blitz 03's with mega dishes on this car soon

 

Powered by max are kind of stiff, but you can get lower spring rates for them so it won't be as bad.

 

the harshness experianced with PBM's has nothing to do with spring rate..

 

ok then what josh? i like to learn new things.

 

Shock valving and stroke length.

 

all the off-the-shelf coilvoers run basically the same spring rate. if you can feel a difference between stances and megans (for example), that should tell you something.

yes valving.

 

****** ay! My stances on full soft feel no more bumpy than the stock suspension on my speed3. I was blown away by that.

 

no ones car is lower in the front than mine on 18's with 40 series tire. wheel is laying on frame rail

i need to ditch balloon tire to get frame clearance at this height. (or notch the rail higher)

 

going to add 1 ride height collar to the fronts, and cut some of the extra rear seams, hammer it up (or straight clearance it) and re-weld it.
HOPEFULLY 35 series front tires, and a ride height collar will suffice though.

 

do you plan on being competitive with this setup? or are you just doing it just to look the freshest?

 

i want to get some photos of it nice looking & fitted once i get it all back together. i'm sure it'll drive like **** at this height. but honestly at the last height (1.5" higher) steering was always good feeling, so who knows. either way last time i had rubbing issues, and it needs some added clearance. plus the wheels rub super hard at lock so i need to address all that.

the car won't even drive at this height. let alone turn, so collar, smaller tires, and see where i'm at and go from there. if it needs to be raised it will be.

 

1.5" higher will make a big difference for suspension travel and overall feel.. i understand hard parking and wanting to get some dope shots.. just making sure you're going to have the best setup for doing well, not just looking hard!!

 

doing well is the proper way to look hard

 

agree'd-- on the track... however... streets gotta be hot!

 

thanks man. i've just never had cool photos of my car looking nice. i'm really looking forward to it. i always ended up smashing it up, or breaking wheel studs in spacers so there was always SOMETHING off...

i'm sure the 35 series tire will suck being smaller sidewall/more stiff. i've been looking for soft tires in 215/35/18 but it's hard to find... i want something softer up front this season so i can add camber like you said awhile back.

i honestly wish i could find a deal on RPF1s so i could do the 17/18 stagger, but no money has me stuck running the dish wheels again.. i've been scouting the AME's alot so maybe when/if i get money together mid season i'll snag some tm-02's.

the main thing i'm bummed about is my crazy tie rod angles... i cant move the rack up much (not that i want to even bother) since the front cover is already like resting on it..

disregard the jack chillen
