it looks like you blew your rear sturts and went to a local bar and told the fattest person in there to get in your hatch you were going to roll them down a hill

Lower the front to match then get wheels and you'll be golden.

Oh, and I don't think that the owner of that car would appreciate you using that picture as your "Drift team" banner.

What's a fender liner?

Oh, and get some 205/50s.

Don't forget toe rods, too. I wouldn't want to drive a car with that much toe.

Ugh, I know what a fender liner is.

It's a joke. As in "har har"

I haven't had fender liners in for so long I've "forgotten."

Oh, and 205/50s are perfect for a 16x8. It's what I run and I love them.

You should just buy my wheels.

It's funny.

EVERYONE says they have the "worst roads" in their area.

I'm simply convinced that there are NO good, smooth roads left.

Needs wheels, something a wider or lower offset for sure.

Only looks too low because the front doesn't match, that and the sunken wheels. As has been stated it will be nice when you get some wheels and line up the front.

And if it were me i would ditch the styrofoam spoiler before some big rust holes appear, that and it just looks like garbage. Idk what the hell Nissan was thnking there...

Do you have Tein coils? I ask because of the sticker on your qp glass but it indeed could have accompanied any Tein part on your car...Just curious

the reason i said it was too low..i dont know if you could see but my exhaust was a 1/2" or less from the ground lol

i just took off my tein springs yesterday actually..guess i should take that sticker off now before everyone calls me a liar =P lol

the only reason ive left the spoiler on is to prevent rust holes..are u saying the wing will cause them?! it is dorky as hell tho

ILoveMyRHS13 so ur saying that you have aweful roads and the 205/50 should be safe enough?

lastly and sadly...i got $4 on my tax returns and had to skimp a bit..they are CX-Racing..sorry to dissapoint

Damn that blows man i got a s*** tax return too. CXRacing what though, coilovers? Do they make coils? No biggie i have a cxracing intercooler heh

But yeah the OEM styrofoam spoiler does eventually lead to rust holes i was very surprised yours didn't have them yet, they may be there and just really small/underneath the mounts. Maybe Oklahoma is just really good for rust. But since it is made of styrofoam is absorbs water when its old and it rains and then it holds the water on the paint until it rusts out. I didn't feel like repairing mine so i just trashed my rusty hatch and bought another.

Yeah the pic is blurry so i couldn't tell how close the exhaust is but it is definitely low enough, only too low if you are scraping things all the time. You could put some subframe collars on it to give you some clearance to raise the exhaust up a little bit or have an exhaust make some custom hangers.

keep us posted though car looks good.

haha thanks for all the comments good/bad-i love this sites quirky ppl =D

neways-yah they are cx racing coilovers...they lower up to 4" and are pretty cheap..you can check them out on their ebay account since they dont sell them on the site..came with cx racing stickers, got a discount coupon to cxracing.com and the return address was cx racing so thats how i know =P

its raised up a bit now and looks better..still ugly and sunk in but better hajust got the money for my 16x8 522s and guna get 205/50 as ILoveMyRHS13 suggested(do u have any pics of ur car/wheels btw??)

planning on rolling my fenders(hopefully flaring them out decently) the 13ththen toe rods and RUCA's later this month along with welding my diff.

i dont have a cat but my exhaust is about 2" off the ground

and ill have to check on my spoilers holes =0i didnt know they were the cause of that aweful hatch rusting---know of any good places to get fills for them?

here was a good pic of it from yesterday lolol

I was doing some googling and ebaying and on their ebay store they didn't have any coilovers for the 240sx. Just trying to find out how much they sell for because I've seen higher priced coilovers that don't seem to drop. Probably just your wheels though? What is the coilovers regular price? Oah and this is on google, the 3rd hit if you search cx racing coilovers or something like that now...
