To reiterate my reason for switching... almost as low but an actual quality suspension... it'll leave any half *** $800-$1500 coilover in the dust, track days/auto-x you name it. I'm sure it'd be competitive in drift too, higher springrates than any coilover with a better ride. My fronts will stay the height they are roughly, the rears will be up an inch or less. If I bought LCAs front and rear then I could slam it to the ground and just adjust my roll center but I don't have another $1300 for those.Here's an example although I may drop the dough on project mu camber plates so I can drop the front some more with their height adjustment.Can't find a pic of PJ's car but I will and I'll post it

Try drifting with an open diff and stock suspension, that will get make you pretty good when you get suspension and a lsd

yeah dude i was TRYING to get sideways for more than 30 feet with an open diff and one wheel kept slowing me down.. but I have an s13 vlsd and that sucker was a freaking 2-way locker for me in the rain...

An empty rain-slick parking lot is any drifter's orgy

long story short, the hlsd is a great unit but you will most likely spend about 500 bucks for all the necessary parts and labor to install it in your r200 housing if you don't know what you're doing.

meh, as far as looks the SE wheels and the z32 wheels are about the same IMO. They only reason you should go with the z32's is cuz they are an inch wider at 7.5 with a 225/50/16 tire. As far as "flushness" goes, my fronts are still pretty sunk.

The one thing I hate about the SE wheels are that they are sunk like a mofo and skinny as hell. I would not suggest you get these wheels though, I mean you don't NEED them-I would save up for wheels you really want.

The reason I got z32 wheels because I had to can my steelies (4 lug) and I needed some cheap 5 lug wheels that would give me some grip with the power I was putting down. The 16x8.5's in back are 2.5 inches wider than the 15x6's the car came with
