i hope you realize that every company's sideskirts are different sized right? so the accurate measurment is measuring from the middle of the fender to the ground.

On my s14 kouki with origin and 18s its about 2 1/2" front and rear on the lowest part of the skirts.

I like how the sticker says "Drop & Destroy" They definately destroyed a good chassis there.

**ThatGuy** · 10-29-2005, 11:30 AM

Parked in the grass today so I could use the driveway to work on someone else's car. Grass helps add to the illusion that it's lower.

I'll be ordering KTS coils after a the first of the year, and hopefully getting better wheels and tires. Then it'll be slammed.

Ian · 10-29-2005, 03:56 PM

measure from the frame rail to the ground in the front and back (front behind front wheels and rear before rear wheels)

that should give you an idea

Ritz S14 · 10-30-2005, 12:29 AM

My *new* car...

Ian · 10-30-2005, 12:56 AM

sex

coupe i hope

***FaLKoN240*** · 10-30-2005, 01:31 AM

It's a coupe.

doc99 · 10-30-2005, 02:56 AM

My old car. If utah roads wern't so lame, my current car would be just as low.

Mind the lame wheels

**mrmephistopheles** · 10-30-2005, 04:13 AM

ewwwww.. Oki..

doc99 · 10-30-2005, 04:46 AM

easy

...I loved oki

**mrmephistopheles** · 10-30-2005, 06:20 AM

I didn't enjoy it much... I bet if I'd been able to drive, I would've.

You can never win with 15 inch wheels.
Cheating for lowness....

Well what's your definition of low?

My defintion is on the frame rails, therefore 15's would ultimately make you win if you were slammed, nottttttt cheating.

I dont consider the car to be low if the body kit helps... it may look cool and may look low, but usually has great clearance.

Not body kit...wheels. Tucking tire AT LEAST, maybe rim in rear.

I used to rock 15s ..sure the car was low...but it didn't really look cool.

smellslikecurry · 11-02-2005, 07:37 AM

got the rears on 560mm front 580mm back

Ian · 11-02-2005, 11:10 AM

How do you find the exact point on the fender to measure from?

I think when we brag about ride height, from now on, we should brag in finger widths from the frame to the ground front and back corners

genetic · 11-02-2005, 01:34 PM

Low enough?

RBS14 · 11-02-2005, 01:41 PM

Height: from ground to peak of fender arch.

Lowness: this thread is about low cars, not low bumpers, body kits and whatever else.

drift into a curb · 11-02-2005, 03:26 PM

lol. cheater lips. Hey rbs14, any new updated pictures of your car?

Ian · 11-02-2005, 03:55 PM

yeah, i have trouble finding the technical peak of my fender :-\

genetic · 11-02-2005, 04:28 PM

yeah i guess lol, thought it was a cool picture. So any new pics of your car RBS14.

smellslikecurry · 11-02-2005, 05:30 PM

i scrape frame coming out of my driveway...today coming out of my driveway i ripped my lip off

RBS14 · 11-02-2005, 06:04 PM

No new event pics. Havn't had any around that I've felt it's worth going to. Hopefully some soon. Supposedly there is going to be another Drift Circuit event in November, so that would be cool.

Couple more pics. Hardparking.

Slammed car + lots of camber = a sunken FN battleship.

So much camber there's no dirt on the outside of my tire. hahaha

And these are for sale if anyone wants them. I've got extra tires too. PM me if you're interested. I'll post them for sale soon.

SoSideways · 11-03-2005, 12:03 AM

Ah ha! That's why your wheels don't rub up front Panda! Sunken FNs!!

So hot... what kinda wheels are those in the rear there?

RBS14 · 11-03-2005, 12:10 AM

I'll be getting spacers for the fronts soon. 15 or 20mm. Havn't decided yet.

rears are "hotwheels". I don't like the black tho, so I'm gonna scuff it up and paint the centers bright silver.

Then probably a ridiculous neon sometime like the steelies posted above.
