Hi,

Its my first 95 240sx SE, stock engine on it. I just bought some greedy gravity gunflames 17x8.5+37 wheels with tires. I havent install them yet.

1. Do i need to use spacer to fit them? Does it look nice with the spacer?2. I want to lower my ride not a lot lil bit, what will be the cheapest & reliable way to do that. I dont wanna go for coilovers, so looking for spring. What will be the reliable & reasonable springs i can use?

I am a girl so i wanna get more knowledge about my car so at the workshop they cant make me fool. Its a stick shift and whereever workshop i go they offer me do you wanna sell it. I feel so stupid. I love my car i dont wanna sell it ever.

Please pass me your wise suggestion and if is there anybody in houston to help me plz you are welcome and i am willing to learn work on my cars.

Thanks.

Hello Ayeesha,first off. 1. you will need a spacer to fit those correctly on a s14. You'll need 20-25mm spacers for them to fit nicely and look good+37mm offset on an 8.5 will look horrible a 25mm spacer will effectively drop it to a +12. Or a 20 will give you a +17. Both will look Drastically better than the +37

2. Alot of guys run the Tein S-techs+KYB GR2's or KYB AGX's. That setup will give you about an inch and a half drop and still ride nicly. if you want to go lower. Eibach Sportlines+ KYB AGX's will offer about a 2.00 inch drop and a firm nice ride.

yeah don't sell it.and don't get taken advantage of. these cars go for 4-6k all day long.

Welcome to NICO btw.and post pics of your car

your grammar sucks.

and you dont need to worry about spacers or fitment at all if you only want to drop your car "not a lot lil bit"

just get some megan lowering springs or something.
