wrong. Their s14 rucas ARE cusco's, and their s13 ones are their own design.

It's all good

I'm just glad your not one of the many misinformed people on here that automatically think that harder spring rates and a lower center of gravity yield improved handling.

I am by no means a suspension geometry engineer, I am however someone that has done my own research on the topic.

On a different note, the side skirts and lip look great!

4N, You can get that stuff at O'rielly's or Autozone. It's back with the regualer loctite stuff.

And I couldn't even imagine driving a car that low, mine with S.Tech springs is constantly scrapping on speed bumbs and curbs. I just hope you aren't bottoming the shocks out, I would assume that they would engineer them to not bottom out on the lowest settting. Car looks nice though. You might want to research whart lowering a car to much does though, just for your own knowledge (just my .02). Suspension tuning can be black voodoo majik.

I dont think my car is that low, i have it to where only the upper radius part of the tire is tucked, I am not really driving it right now cause of my bad rod bearing, so until I fix that. And I doubt my tubes are bottoming out, they definetly arent at thier lowest settings. My skirts are jdm aero urethane supposedly, but I dunno too much about skirts.

Damn that xenon lip looks so good on your car. It matches the skirts and rest of the car perfect.

And no, don't do anything to the back. Leave it, nerf spoiler and all, I think Nissan got the 240 f/b right in the back end. And I really like that little ducktail nerf bar personally. And dude, my car scrapes at stock height Your car would die in my driveway haha.

edit......HOLY ****!! This was my 1,000 post!! Holy hell..... Oh, yeah, I'm a ****ing post whore from hell......1,000 posts in 8 months. Haha.

Yep. Ive only used the oven method, but the heat gun is the correct way...

Nice, I see some peak performance rods. Good to see you're going the right direction. Toe rod would be most important since toe eats up tires more than camber. Looks good. I approve of ride height :D

Good looking out Artic, so do you know where I can get the best deals on the spl stuff? And I also wanted to ask about those SPL front inner and outer tie rod, the ones I seen looked like it was a newly designed outer and z32 inner tierods right? And it also says something about not recommending them for street use due to bumpsteer, is that true or exaggerated? Cause I do hate bumpsteer!!!

Oh yea and BTW, your car looks lovely, I wish I Fvckin waited til I found something like yours. I wanna ride your black beauty, mmmmmm....
