Does anyone have any pics of this model lowering spring on a s13? I threw my jic coilovers in a trash compactor because I lost two fillings from the bone-jarring ride. You know what else, TO HELL WITH CAMBER PLATES!! I don't think they're easier! Anyways, rant over, sorry to all the coilover lovers out there, if you've got some pics, I'd like to see. Thanks fellers and gentileladiers! Peace, love, and three toned black hatches on steelies w/ dryrotted tyres!!!

This vert is running GF210s. You have to slot factory rear upper control arm to correct the camber.

What do you mean? Ride height or wheels? I think ride height looks good for a set of springs for $160 and wheels don't look that bad. They are okay.

yeah, that's nice...but the verts are heavier cars than the hatches and that thing looks as though it's been slammed. but i think it looks good, wheels and all...thanks, anybody else got any pics? i'm only so worried about correcting camber, too; but thanks for the input

Vert is about 100lb heavier than coupe/hatch IIRC. As far as camber goes, that's an easy job. Just do this and you are good to go. This is enough for the springs, and you don't need aftermarket RUCAs.

yeah, i figured that's what you meant, thanks...i'll keep it in mind, but a little negative camber can help handling, too.

But if you don't slot it, you will have too much negative camber that'll eat up inside of your tires really fast.
