about 3 inches off the floor on 17's with the type x bumber and its quite a square stance front and rear atm but yea i'm gonna get shorter springs lol. I'd also assume the s14 version will differ to the 180sx version. Either way i think you will be impressed.Originally Posted by BLAKTOOTH
Cool. I've been impressed with my GenII's. For an entry level coilover they've been blooming marvellous.
looks the part!
Ta, will hopefully work the part as well. Without going totally bonkers we've managed to create about 20mm clearance to the tyre on full lock and probably not far off that on the circumference of the wheel arch where it was rubbing on the tyre. We could have cut the entire arch out and fitted huge-ass tubs but that's wholly unecessary. The car doesn't have huge lock as it's not a drifter so we just fettled the existing metal and cut the lower corners out. Once it's been fully welded, seam sealed and painted it will look pretty stock. I'm raising the car a touch and fitting stiffer suspension for next year so hopefully the scrubbing will be eliminated.
Ooomph!?!
Early Christmas present from your little man ?
Yes? Something like that. I'm sure if asked they'd be exactly what he'd pick. Hopefully he'll give me a hand at the weekend fitting themEarly Christmas present from your little man ?
Might have to steal your arch clearance idea! Running geomasters and proper width wheels causes issues and I don't want to fully tub mine.
Doing it this way means you get to keep everything that's attached to the front tubs, fuse box, overflow bottle (did move forward but still in same position) etc. Most of my scrubbing was on the top of the tyre and there aint much you can do about that. Bit of hammer work but you only gain 5-10mm. I think I'm running the car a little low so I'll be raising it a touch anyway, plus running stiffer suspension. Just hoping with wider tyres and track width I still have clearance :-S
Fronts are on...
Sitting nicely on its new coillies. Pretty happy with the height so hope it doesn't drop much.
Love the styling of this. Lovely work on the splitter too.
Looks awesome!
Let's us know how the coilovers are as well
Just a few pics before she was put away...possibly until next year now :-(
looks soooooooooooooooooooo good!
anymore pics of the arch work? have you left a hole or?
Nice!
This was going well at the weekender, Think i may have some footage of you in front of me on my YouTube channel(Click)
I really like your contrasting Matt/Gloss look, really livens up an already very exciting car. Excellent stuff mate.
