BTW i know you have 17 by 9 in the front lol
Oh yeah, and to answer your Q (sorry I forgot), in the rear, it's still stock camber spec's (made my RUCA's the same level as OEM). 25mm spacer with a 225/40/18. When I put the car back on the floor, the tire rubbed the fender even after a roll so I gave it a slight newspaper pull. Only rubbed on harsh bumps (which is actually plentiful in NJ). Fronts are camber plates 1 notch away from max with a 20mm spacer + a slip on 8mm. For sunday, I'm going down another half inch in the front.

Lol keep the white. White cars are abundant but GOOD LOOKING white cars are few and far between. My car's the oem 300zx alpine white (326 I believe). OEM aero car + Aftermarket aero car = hot. You BETTER be dumped.
wait, can a car be not dumped? im confused horribly by this

white it is... unless i get some crazy hair up my a**....

There's no such thing as too low. Wish I could go lower. I have an inch and a half to my transmission/front cross member, but they're tearing up my neighborhood roads for town sewage, so it isn't the easiest to drive down. Excuses are for wimps though. Car looks great.

man, you should lower the rear another 3/4 inch then, because your stance is already a little raked, and lower in the front would make that even worse. plus it would just be bad a**. just my opinion

I might just leave it as is. I haven't found an S13 in the NJ, NY, or PA that's lower YET.

Plus my stock toe arms in the rear are a 1/4 inch from the subframe already. I can't put a finger between the arm and the little subframe collar.

Purchase the PBM super low toe arms. they got that bend in them for more clearance. I just picked mine up not too long ago and they're great

PBM parts are cool but I prefer SPL more. SPL ruca felt more solid than the PBM ruca. The SPL toe arm also has the slight bend to clear subframe.

Nice car, and good luck finding anything lower, it would be pure stupidity to be that low in NYC.

FourLug... ever thought about a mismatched set with the same fitment?

Like gold 962's up front and gold 507's in the back? that would be sexy too, I think...

I know. A couple of my friends with integras wanted me to take my car to Washington Heights a couple weeks back to watch some sort of famous street racer named Ceasar the Champion race through the Cross-Bronx. I was like uhhh my car wouldn't make it past the GW.

I wouldn't do it with a wheel that had lip, I'd think it would look better if you did it with wheels that concave. Like what Dousan and AznDoc did with their 180sx hatches. White Bee R Racing 5's up front and white TE37's in the back. Looks INSANE.

Oh yeah, I fixed the front bumper fitment recently. There isn't the "open-hood" look anymore but still a bit of a gap. Whatever, here:

I don't think I've ever seen these cars that you speak. Can you post pics?

How do you not drag your cat all over the place? Really though how much clearance do you have at your lowest point? Half inch?

-I know what roads I'm "free" to drive on.-I drive like a grandma in a Buick when it comes to unfamiliar areas.-I don't live in NYC/North Jersey-I have my daily commute's bumps and dips memorized.

I don't have a cat, I have a test pipe. My exhaust hangers aren't that worn so my exhaust tucks up decently high. Not to mention that the Apex'i is known to have better ground clearance than say an HKS Hi-Power or a Greddy Evo. My lowest point would probably be the bottom of the little bump on the steering rack and the lip would come close second. I can't fit my foot under my front lip for reference.
