How low/stiff do you ride on pothole infested roads?

[S14Kouki10]

Proper suspension geometry is underrated.





I'm low, but not slammed by anyone's standards. Proper corner balance is responsible for the slightly higher sitting rear. Daily drive on 10/8 coilovers. Pictures were taken today by a couple different local guys.

Some people want to be slammed and have their cars handle terribly. That's cool too, everyone has a different style.

i like this stance. what suspension you got?

[Chris28]

Daily driven.

[adrianfromthecastle]

i think the most that touches the ground are my spl brake cooling plate thingies. everything else clears pretty well while daily driving. Just take it easy on the driveways and speed bumps

[Kelbizzle]

Wow I see some cars that are uber low! It looks like the consensus is that riding that low is generally for looks? My main concern is the wear and tear on my car. I think want to go as low as I can without negatively affecting the handling of the car. How many of the super low guys have adjustable dampers?

[Cameron]

Cameron, where are you measuring those height settings from? The frame rail?

yea the very front of the flat part of the frame rail and the very back of the flat part of the frame rail

and appreciate it guys, i just sold those wheels yesterday, new ones coming soon! and type X

[turbo2nr]

drove like that for all of 4 days in nyc before i came to realization potholes >car...

let a nice dent on the bottom of my intercooler

YouMustBeKouki, The way your car sits now is perfect IMO, maybe some small spacers, but thats it...

[nismobenzo]

how many of u low dudes have spacers???im pretty low in the front on some nissan 15s and it almost hits my coils in the front..cant imagine it being any better with my incoming 17x9s

[homeslicej2]

yea the very front of the flat part of the frame rail and the very back of the flat part of the frame rail

thought so. I've always liked that stance on your s13. That's about what I'm shooting for.

[Cameron]

thanks man, its about to be even better haha.

my 18x9 +25 was touching my coils so I had a 5mm spacer in there...other than coilover clearance I don't believe in using spacers for looks

[Ass0]

I've about 3inch clearance on bumperlip to ground with D2 coils and its pretty stiff cause drift settings, hven't driven yet those settings but lets see

[Onizuka]

I have mine lowered as far as I can and keep the front wheel liners in because I drive it 365 days a year. I have KTS coilovers. The stock 8kg/mm(f) and 6kg/mm(r) were too stiff with 18inch wheels for my liking so I got pair of 5's for the rear and put the 6's up front, it rides great now.

NoThank you

10/8 spring rate

10/8 spring rate

pure sex

[nismobenzo]

dammn how often do u rub-you dont have much fender pull at alllooks nice tho =D

and thanks spooled..we think alike..5mm spacer sounds reasonable

[Cameron]

not at all, you do know that when the susp. compresses the wheels camber in right? you can also tell he rarely rubs by the condition of his sidewall, probably the only time he rubs is in a high g turn.

[Cameron]

true true, that solves the back....now how bout the front
