id drop it and get wheels with a lower offset before paint. are you going to paint it your self? you should seriously consider it. its cheaper and you learn so much. post pics of the engine bay. gl

IMO, the car still sits like a 4x4, and the wheels don't fit...

really lower that bish, and get some much more flattering wheels, or at least some BIG spacers, and you'll be good

The interior is really nice aside from that cluster trim. IMO, the steelies fit better.

LMFAO, thats not low.

Still 4x4'n it

And the wheels, please kids....goddamn.

This isnt even tht low

4" exhaust right after an RB25, so the front end is a tiny bit heavier, KYB AGX's and tein springs (i didnt put them on the car, eventually getting coilovers, it sits WAY too high).

Your not going to scrape...

s***, even I know you'll have to go lower, you live near the Lancaster boys. They'll clown you to death if you don't.

REALLY?! Park on the street. Or just go into your driveway at an angle. Your not low dude. If you can stick your whole hand between your tire and fender then your not low. Poke around the best lookign s13's thread. Please..

If you're happy with how it sits then leave it as it its. I have coils on my daily 240, and eibach sportlines on my ka-t 240. Coilovers handle WAY better but the springs are much better for daily driving. Coilovers are a bit much.

I have to take into consideration where I live because of my car. I can't live in a place with a steep driveway either. My wife gets annoyed by it. I had sportlines before and wasn't close to being happy with the ride height, so I got some coilovers.Your downpipe hangs extremely low. Have a muffler shop cut and move your down pipe up higher. This is the downpipe I'm using and it sits even with the frame of my car.
