what kinda wheels do you wanna run? You are only on a 1 inch drop right?assassin7420 wrote:Thanks but, Im still on the KYB's with Eibach pros. I don't think I can go any lower due to the wheel/tire setup I want to run.
Yours looks like shes coming along nicely too.
Yep, They only offer a 1.2 in drop in the front and a 1.0 in drop in the rear. However for my tire setup works perfect.spooled240 wrote:what kinda wheels do you wanna run? You are only on a 1 inch drop right
is it gona clear with a tire on there?cuz i have 17x9+24's up front and didn't even clear the coilover.got a 15mm spacer.back is no problembut with the strut/spring combo isn't it a lot like wider up top with the spring?not as thin as a complete coil over setup..?assassin7420 wrote:

I'm planning on running 275/40/17's all around. I've already test fitted some 17x9 +26 wheels with those tires and fitting them is STUPID easy.
The front fenders need to be rolled and have a 1 1/4 pull. The inner splash guard at the back of the tire will rub, This needs to be relocated a little further in the fender. There is also a low spot in the front of the wheel well, You just need to hammer that in no more then 1/2 an inch. I will also have to run a power steering cooler but that's not hard to make. Doing this allows me to go full lock to lock with no problems.
The rears need a roll and a 1/4 inch pull.
Also, You really need to make an OM NOM NOM picture with your car eating snow like that
what about when you go over a bump?cuz my sisters wrx has springs on it and the tires have patches of where it hits the spring on bumps when the strut/spring compress.be carefull about that.assassin7420 wrote:I thought it would rub on the bottom of the spring perch to with the larger tire, But it clears with a good inch and a half of space.
When I test fitted wheels I used 04 Cobra wheels with the tires. First took measurements of the fenders. Then did lock to lock and found the 2 small problems.
If I was lower and had coilovers they wouldn't fit, So having the spring strut combo worked out.
i like the look.. lol no seriously i like it better without that lip.spooled240 wrote:

also they open in the winter? i have all the washing gear but my stupid landlord turns off the water for winter so i can't wash my car...lmk man.
The only way the tire would contact the spring perch would be if the strut failed, Or the tire had a blow out. The only thing im worried about is the tire contacting the inside of fender under hard cornering.FusionR300zx wrote:

you know, i sorta like the stock k's bumper also because it flows with the rest of the car better. One thing that i didn't like about the greddy lip is how is was flat on the sides(check sig) and it made the intercooler air damn a little smaller cuz of the way it mounts on the bumper. I just wanna drop my car nowbrizanden wrote:i like the look.. lol no seriously i like it better without that lip.
that looks good, but with 20's aftermarket aero is definitely a must or it will look donk statusFusionR300zx wrote:some1 in the s13 thread said that 20's don't belong on any s-chassis....
they should take those words back.

post a pic of your 4x4 and we'll compare lolbrizanden wrote:really its already lowered... dam my car seems just as low lol.
maybe not much lower, but mine's definitely lower. I can barely fit my hand between the top of the tire and the fender/qp.brizanden wrote:
