about to pay.. just double check see if I missed anything

[Fenvy]

okay, I am goign to get these... let me know if you hvae any suggestions or feed backs

Eibach Sportline - 180$ pick up

KYB AGX - $350 pick up

D2 Adjustable Front Camber Plates - 120$ shipped

or Rear Upper Control Arm w/ camber correction - 140$ shipped (which one should I get?)

come out to be about $800

do I need strut mounts/boots/bumpers for my setup? how many of each do I need?

can you guys tell me how the front camber plate work? do I need to dial in first before I install it? because it looks like the dial in part is invisible once it's isntalled

[schyawn]

the rear upper control arms: Donut shaped one is for S13, other "one sided" one is for S14. You can adjust camber plates after on car, but get an alignment to put it where you want it, eg: 1°,2°. Some KYB boots would be nice to protect those new shocks, only if your stockers are torn up.

[chmercer]

thoes rucas look kindof gangster. dont short change yourself, take your time and buy quality stuff, it sucks to buy the same part twice. If i was you and i was gonna drop 800 on suspension, i would wait another paycheck and get coils and a camber correction bolt kit, and replace it with a ruca later.

[Fenvy]

I am actually spending about 530 on the suspension itself

the rest is on camber correction item... which I still have to spend have I gone with coilovers. correction bolts won't work for me because the camber wear will easily exceed -1.5

[BadMojo]

Yeah, just get some new KYB boots. They're cheap, and if your car is high mileage, chances are that your original ones are getting a little rotten.

Looks like a good deal to me. Awesome price on the AGX's too...is this a local shop for you?

[Fenvy]

it's ebay: call, and ask to make a deal, cash and don't charge for tax or will call, if they say no just whine and state that they dont get charged for ebay/paypal fees

[chmercer]

"camber correction items" = suspension. i dunno, if you are serious about your car, i would get somthing a little better. theres a reason you can find so many shock/spring combos used.

[Fenvy]

I know that it is suspension parts but they are not shocks/springs as directly porportional to coilovers as far as functions is converned.

I can spend 1000 on tein coilovers but I still have to spend another 300 on camber correction.

I am spending 530 right now on shocks/springs and the rest goes to camber correction.

if I shouldn't get those ebay ruca, where shoul I get it from? phase2 have a set and they look exactly the same short of the color. what about the front camber plate? is the d2 camber plate okay?

thanks for your inputs!

[Fenvy]

well what you think about the camber set up? I am about to buy...

[chmercer]

you get what you pay for. dont be cheap, it will bite you in the ***

[Fenvy]

chmercer you just made me pay 170 for a set of used cusco front camber plate. so what about the ruca? who shoudl I go with?

can someone also tell me if I can fit "Yokohoma AVS ES100 225/50-16" with my suspension setup?

[Grant@tirerack]

There are way too many factors to take into account with the tire size working or not. The wheel, suspension setup, alignment.... They are going to have to do a test fitment with everything set up on the car. There's no way to know 100% without access to the car, tire, and wheel.

[Exar-Kun]

offset will determine(as well as camber) weather or not the 225-50-16 tires will fit, I have seen plenty of people run them with no problems, make sure you hav a 7-8" wide wheel and lower than a 38mm offset(7") and lower than a 25mm(8" wheel) to run it with factory stuff..-chetGRant is right(again...it gets annoying watching him be right all the time), there is no 100% without direct access to the car...

[Grant@tirerack]

I'm not right all the time, just ask my wife! LOL!

[Fenvy]

how come I hear nothing but good things about you grant?

anyways, i called 5zigen and they said this particular wheel is 42 or 43mm offset... so what should I do? what's the widest I can go?

[chmercer]

wow 43 offset? that is super high, i would try to get somthing lower, that is higher than stock offset

[Exar-Kun]

yeeeah, get a lower offset, grant can get you some kosei's I think, that will work wonderflly and wont break the bank.(16x7.5 25mm offset...)

-chet

[Grant@tirerack]

The K-1 25mm blanks are now gone for good.

[Exar-Kun]

*lets out horrible scream* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

those were going to be my second set of wheels..

you guys got anything comprable?-chet

[Fenvy]

****

anyways does a 43 on 16x7 sound right? maybe the guy doesn't know what he's talking about? :holding breath:

[chmercer]

super high. it would probably fit but it would look like junk.

exar, you can usually get buddy club p1s off ebay or wherever for a good deal, its the same wheel

[Exar-Kun]

may just get another set of gram lights(or use these as track wheels...) but thanks for the heads up.-chet

[Fenvy]

damn I should have done my research before I bought the wheels

1991 S13 15x6 with a 40mm offset Wheels

1)can they fit:

yokohoma avs es100215/60VR15 ?225/50VR15 ?

...without any danger?

2) if they fit, do I still have the same clearance issue?

[chmercer]

heh no danger. sorry cant help you with the fitment though, i have s14

[Exar-Kun]

205-55-15 is an approved fitment by MAST on the stock wheels, run 32psi or higher(I ran 32/35 f/r) with a sticky tire it should be a nice upgrade -chet

[dr!ft]

The K-1 25mm blanks are now gone for good.

What about the 16x7.5" 35mm blanks? Or are you guys completly out of K-1 blanks?

[240sxHitman]

i was planning on running the same set up as far as the sturts and springs. but im also lookin at coilovers. Now i gotta learn more bout the Camber plates so i know which one to get and all the other things involved. im not so educated about suspension yet but i want to know what exactly does the camber plates do for you?

[Grant@tirerack]

Sadly, the only ones left are

4-11416X7.5 ET22 15X7 ET 17

5-11416X7.5 ET4316X7.5 ET 32

[Fenvy]

dear grant,

what do you recommend then?

do you think I can at least fit 215s on my 16 inch wheels?

[Exar-Kun]

Gant, shoot me a quote for 4 16x7.5 +22 with 4 a032R 225-50-16 (hard compound) shipped if you would sometime, sir.[email protected]

thats what I would run given the choice. cheap+light wheels don't come around often.-chet
