Bang front/rear fenders with a bfh, bang inner metal lip thing so the center of the tire doesnt get cut up front, relocate harness, and a bit of camber..

SoSideways · 11-01-2006, 01:47 PM

Don't worry.

After some 215/40/17s up front and me putting the 9/7 springs on, the car will be lowered some mo'!

Team Rootbeer · 11-04-2006, 04:23 PM

reaxion · 11-04-2006, 05:54 PM

holy crap man. your car is a vision of what I want mine to look like.
fno1rc's, whats your set up? suspension also please.

Brian · 11-04-2006, 06:01 PM

My turn!

215/40-17 Federals. ANybody else have these? I swear they look like 215/35s or something

And my favorite part I bought in the last year, skid plate. Saved my ass so many times...

Brian · 11-04-2006, 06:24 PM

It doesn't really look low from here.

I wore down the skirts as you can see...

SoSideways · 11-04-2006, 07:17 PM

Brian you inspire me in so many way lol

215/40/17 = key to Slamtown, USA.

Dousan_PG · 11-04-2006, 07:26 PM

215/40/17s rule
i just put some on my TEs
so much clearance! its great no rubbing
the 452s fit real good. not a bad tire!

SoSideways · 11-04-2006, 07:31 PM

I got 225/45/17 Kumho MX in the rear right now, am planning on going with RT615 in the front in 215/40/17 for more clearance.

Between the MX, RT615, and RS2 (the Hankooks), which ones would last longer in the front for drift/road racing?

theMX run wider then what they are rated. knda like the old AZENIS tires
the RT i wasnt crazy about. i ran them in a 215/40 on my s14 way back when they frst came out
the RS2s i havent used by my friends love them. great tire

id go w/ the RS2s or the Falken 452s
i know the falkens on VULCANTIRE.COM are like 200 shipped (at least to my door it was)

SilviaSR20DET · 11-04-2006, 09:02 PM

how do you guys drop your cars that low and not have rubbing issues.... i have 235/40/ tires and ripping my fender liner when i hit bumps or turn my car.... My car isnt even as low as some of your guy's. any tips?

Nizzan4u2nv · 11-04-2006, 09:06 PM

Fender liner? I doubt anyone in this thread still has fender liners. Mine have been in the trash since day 1.

Brian · 11-04-2006, 09:11 PM

Fender Liner.... seriously?
We throw those away before they even have time to get comfortable.

articdragon192 · 11-04-2006, 09:45 PM

^werd. Fenderliners are none existant, lol.

smelly240 · 11-04-2006, 10:22 PM

LOL - Fenderliners! my tires touch the inside of the 1/4's - if u cant go over speed bumps - you shouldnt have fenderliners

McRussellPants · 11-04-2006, 10:54 PM

If you can't figure out how to put the fenderliners in the garbage you'll never be able to figure out how to move the harness once the tire chews through it.

215/40... miles away from ordinary... and your frame rails.

AHAAHAH brian, show him the pic of your bumper in that exact same spot and make your call FTW.

drifts135 · 11-06-2006, 12:28 AM

I know it isnt an s chassis or a Z car, but it has front suspension like a z and rear like an s, so can yall let it slide? I sold it 3 days ago, and will miss it terribly, so here's a montage of sorts to see it out with... It brought a pretty penny, and almost every dime will go into making the old s13 rock...

Point is that this is as low as the front fender design would alow me to go and still perform well... I shoulda jus made the front a real pull, but it really jacks up the lines of an r32 fender when u do that.

Here it was bone stock the day I picked it up...

Youre Gar's friend, right?

If you want, I can rip out your fender liners, relocate your harness and take a hammer to your front wheel wells.

You have coilovers right?
