Pic request of your lowered s13's

[justblaze1016]

I'm looking to drop my 93 coupe and i am looking to see some pic so i can make a decision on how low.

[onosqv]

Have you tried checking this thread (the 2nd sticky @ the top)

Get the Tein Tech-S springs they lower it 1.5 in the front and 1.2 in the back. They are a good amount lower then stock but not to the point where the wheels Tuck inside the fenders (AKA ghetto)

Think.. Corvette.. the wheels seem to fit in the fenders

[onosqv]

Tuck is gangster... not usually practical, but gangster, HAHA. That look grows on you, depending on wheels/tires/setup, etc.

Anyway, now that you mentioned that stuff, I would say justblaze, also consider your budget here & your goals. Someone recently asked on the boards what coilover/shock&strut they should go with and we had a long discussion on that.

If you are more aimed toward simply performance, lower budget, mostly daily driving, go w/ springs/struts - your struts are most likely blown as most of us find out when swapping out the springs, so might as well do it now.

If you lower any more than 1.5 or 2", you may want to consider getting rear upper control arms, and "maybe" tie rods, tension rods for the front and toe rods for the rear depending on the condition of your vehicle - your bushings are prob shot to hell too.

Money adds up really quickly. If you go with coilovers, you will have to really consider those arms/rods above, since they get thrown all out of spec when you start "slamming".

For actual brands of springs/struts/coilovers... there are very many threads detailing and discussing these much better than I can tell you in one post.

u can see my car there................good luck trying to find the springs i use though.

[rexhunta]

Eh. JIC Coilovers.

[rico05]

Our cars have relativly short stroke shocks (not 1G DSM bad haha), so anything more than 1.5" is just for show. Also, if you go more than 1" front or rear, you really need adjustible suspension arms in order to dial your geometry back in.

your *** on that car looks SLAMMED a lot lower than the front

also are your rear wheels realyl cambered?

they appear that way to me frmo that picture

[dickie]

im running those teins with kyb agx shocks, not really a lot of visible drop, but the difference is amazing as far as perfmormance goes. i thought that it was riding stock height until i saw someone elses 240 hatch. now the dif is noticable. i can get pics up tomorrow nightish if you still need them

It's just an illusion, aqs the whole car is the same height.. maybe cause theres 215/60/15s on the rear and 205/60/15s on the front as well.. so tyre wall difference wouls give give that appearance..

Rear wheels where at 3.6 degrees negative camber because of how much i dumped it.. theres not enough camber control, although i do have adjustable rear upper arms in there now, not sure if this new pic you can notice any difference..

[DjPantsSpecR]

on a scale of 1- Clean i give that car a Clean

its even the nasty *** olive drab two tone, oh god yeah i think i just had one....

even on the stock rimskis... its exactly how i wanted mine to be, then i remembered oh yeah, college....

[240DRFT]

i love the two tone. its my favortie colored 240.

im gonna go with s-techs/agx's and ive heard lots of good things about them.

[onosqv]

the s-techs... the "luxury master"? Hehe, I helped a buddy install agx + s-techs on an s14.

Those things are very comfy. Stock spring rate basically. Lowers the car, but not noticeably at all, maybe 1". The RSRs are stiffer, 1.5" lower - another option you could consider if going w/ agx + spring combo.

Performance wise, the owner of the s14 took it autoxing and it felt a lot more solid than the other s14 they were tracking w/ stock blown suspension... which doesn't say much since the other one was blown, HAHA.

I have a set of s13 sportlines for sale . email for info (in my profile)

[Repo Man]

Here is mine. Please disregard the grey hatch. I know it doesn't match and needs paint. I do however have the S-Techs installed and like them very much. The car is on a sloped driveway, so it may not be the most accurate depiction of the lowering.

[onosqv]

The gray hatch rocks. It's the ultimate two tone!

[drifter_for_life06]

lol

and rex i can tell a diff in the pic of the ***

thanks

love two tone coupes

[rexhunta]

Silvia Didn't spend the money to get the car from Japan to have it called a 240

i think i need to get it lowered a bit more.

[240 Trainee]

Slightly lower in the front now, I also have 300zx wheels in the back, and in the next month, hopefully a pair of Swazies with 195/55 tires, so it will be alittle lower still. Rear cambered to hell, no money for quality RUCA's,

Now thats a nice slammage. What kind of sideskirts are those? Are they OEM or aftermarket?

[240 Trainee]

Sideskirts are Canadian OEM, found them at a junkyard in VA. They are gone though, a CA18 takes thier place...

[ale89se]

[240 Trainee]

[Nismochick240]
