shocks/strut, spring, and wheel question. Please Help! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This is for a 1989 240sx coupe.
I just wanted to know will the front kyb gr2 shock/strut with tein s tech springs be good for a 18inch xxr 502 rim, 2inch lip, +35 offset?
Reason I am asking is because the front kyb gr2 shock/struts have a plate where the springs sit on.
Will that cause scrapping?
Just wanted to know before I buy.
Is 1.7 Inch drop low? Asking because I don't want it too low?

kyb GR2's are stock struts replacements
tein s-techs are aftermarket, higher rate, lower height

stock struts do not like aftermarket springs

don't dot hat combo

XXR's suck. Heavy, knockoff designs, and crappy offsets. Those will clear your fail setup above, but it'll look retarded. You haven't even mentioned the wheel width

it won't scrap because you'll still be superhigh 4x4 status, 1.7inches is nothing

Summary:
Scrap that list.
Read more.
Learn more.
Save more.
Buy real shit.

Unless you don't care and wanna do whatever just to throw mods on your car and be cool and that makes you happy. For some reason people want to accept everyone else, so do whatever you want and don't listen to me . . . there's no right way to do anything, just unique ways.

Bleh.
