Strategically placed and sized styrofoam blocks with the same heavy duty zipties that hold my lip up. Like I said, it's still there, just not as bad as it was before.

i think that bubble was a dyno queen for that event they had in queens. But im sure he still has it along with that 8 or 9 second red coupe. Just different setups for different things.

Thanks for the pic. It's funny, I have been planning that same setup with Rota's before I ever saw that car...

I thing a mismatched set can look good with deep dished wheels. VRT pulled it off...

Not that bad. I put bricks in front of the tire where it pokes out at the bottom due to camber and drive up on them. Then I can fit a scissor jack under and from there, I raise it till I can fit a regular floor jack under the rad support.

Read the thread instead of just looking at the pictures, man. In the first post, it says he used Powered By Max spacers...

oem skirts or chuki styled skirts pop up a decent amount in the classifieds and on zilvia. look on your local forum so you dont have to pay for shipping though.

Anytime dude-ski. I actually went to the Sonic meet by Neshaminy last Thursday to see how it was. Alot of S13's that I was just like to. Show them that PA cars CAN look good.

I put on 14 inch steelies on the front the other day to see how low I could get. I couldn't get the jack out...

Zilvia classifieds. I got them off of a Mod there and he gave me a GREAT deal shipped from Killafornia.

Alright so I guess I got another question about your ride height. How high off the ground is the bottom of your door in the middle? I read a post somewhere else about some guy (dont remember who it was so I have no proper reference) who had an s13 coupe and he had a picture of a tape measure from the bottom of his door in the middle to the ground and it read 5". Last night I got curious and went out to my car and measured how high my door is at stock height (I have a hatchback but I assume its pretty much all the same down there) and it is 10.5" from the ground (I literally get bloody noses while driving) then I stuck my tape measure under my car at the lowest point to see how much clearance I have. It's 4.5" inches of clearance under where the downpipe turns horizontal (not sure what to call this little section of exhaust... Im still a dummy with cars) Anyway... do the math. To get the bottom of my door down to 5 inches I would have to lower my car 5.5"! I only have 4.5" of clearance at factory height! That section of exhaust will be one inch underground! WTF am I missing here? And how much did you lower your car from stock height?

you know more than just lowering the car pays into ride hide right? the rims and tire choice play into it as well. my car is lowered on tien coilovers and my front bumper with lip is less than 3 inches off the ground, the center of my door is about 5.5 inches and my rear bumper is about 6 inches off the ground and i dont have side skirts like he does. i dont know about dudes setup vs. mine but you are giving it too much thought, these after market companies dont make parts to f up your car. do you have an SR with an after market down pipe or what? cause im still running a stock KA. your exact setup would be helpful in answering your question and if im thread highjacking my bad.
