damn that looks great but i can't imagine myself driving something that low...1 finger gap all around is good enough for me.

but i guess the roads in FL are better? either way props.

what size/offset are those rear wheels? i'm looking for new 4lug wheels, and i'm split between some 17X9 +25 or those 962's in 17X9 +35,,, i'm just not sure what will fit the best without having to touch the fender,,,no rolling or pulling.

Post by **White Comet** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 4:45 pm

bad roads is no excuse not to tuck, mrgreeneyes has zero gap and dailys over PA potholes all the time

Do you have to pay back financial aid?

Only if it is excess from a loan you took out. Other than that the money is yours to do what you please with.

They're 17x7 +40. I had the 17x9 +35 in the rears but their tire life is non existent now so i did the good ol' switch-a-roo.

Get the 17x9 +25. They'll fit snug in the fenders with a good stretched tire.You'll need some spacers to clear the 962's +35 up front and with spacers, they'll fit the same as the +25.

save the money you would spend on spacers for something else

This might sound dumb but how do you flip the bracket on the coilover?

Post by **Gabes13** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 7:55 pm

you just twist it off, flip it over, and twist it back on.

Post by **pronissans13** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 8:00 pm

Sweet greatly appreciate

you rep mrgreeneyes' ride height in almost every "new suspension" thread.

last pics i saw of his car were low, but no amazing.

i want new pics.

not if it is a "Grant" or a "scholarship" then you dont have to pay back ****

if it is a student loan then he will have to pay back what he got and intrest

and i hope he is not pissing away his money if it is a student loan

i have a good buddy who did that and he has no job and a crap load of bills

and with the economy doing funny things i would be cautious

or the OP

that looks good dumped but is it functional? i would think that there is a fine line between looking dumped and being able to drive daily

ouch. ooooouch.

ill get you pics as soon as the weather stops being crap. its just raining like a mofo out here...

and i ate through my previously tucked harness.... gotta pull it apart, reloom, tuck higher, and re-dump the car. then pics.

and perhaps some other treats may find their way onto my car in the meantime... maybe not. depends on weather/shipping time...

im not dissing your car, im simply stating that the pictures i have of your car are like a year old, and are about as low as the average slammed 240. i know it's probably lower now, and i would love to see some pics. your car is dope.

Im not "pissing" my money away. That's only half of what I get, and the other half I have saved for miscellaneous/ emergency things. I'm excited about my purchase and It's my well deserved gift to myself for the hard work I've done the past couple of months.

TRBOMOFO wrote:that looks good dumped but is it functional?

why wouldn't it? The only problem I'm having is some tire rub, which I hope Mr.greeneyes can help me with.

Mr.greeneyes- What do you have done to your wheel wells to tuck your tires? I've tried looking through your build thread for an answer but I only skimmed through the 10 pages of text and a lot of the pictures don't show.

Website · Post by **crash n burn** » Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:44 pm

see, and seeing **** like this kinda pisses me off. i "make too much" money per year to qualify for financial aid believe it or not. im 20 and i scrape by 17k/yr..

eh its whatever. looks good though, need a piggy lip on the chuki front end..then you'll really be touching the ground :]

and to reply to the wheel well modification..there's a seam running down the center of it, you need to take a hammer and bend it back onto itself, it'll eat your tires EVERY time. that and tuck your harness

after a blow out..

to me less then a finger gap is loooooow. but the only reason i rep it so hard is because i have personal experience with his set up and i love its aggressiveness yet streetability

im guessing that if i saw his car as you do, i would agree. i just want some new pictures to confirm this.
