New pics, Slammed beyond belief.

love the old skool weds on the back!

[RBS14]

Sorry, not Weds. I wish. They're Gartmaier Mainbachs.

[Maeda]

Scott. I know you like the way it looks but I have just one question for you.

Can you fit your toes underneath the bumper? I sure looks like you can to me, so therefor it's not low enough. =).

[revat619]

Scott, you my friend are insane! i dunno how you drive it like that everywhere, but if you can, then more power to ya!

[RBS14]

haha John have you been talking to that little devil on my right shoulder? You guys are saying the same thing.... haha but It's low enough for me. Once I get my other FN's on the rears, it'll stop rubbing and I can thrash it and see if it needs to go up or down. As it settles, it keeps getting lower, I stopped by Speed Alliance today after work and I couldn't fit my shoe under my front lip. It's ridiculous. As long as I can still drive the shit out of my car at this height I'll leave it. If I have to drive like a pussy everywhere, I'll raise it up a tad.

Do you even know how fully adjustable coilovers work? If you don't know what you are talking about, don't say anything cuz people who know what's up will think you are a dumbass. The GR6 are designed to lower the car insanely low without sacrificing stroke. Tanabe DD and Zeal super function are the same way.

Scott, I am freaking jealous and I have n1 PRO. Seeing your car, big bad BH, and aaron makes me wanna sell them so I can lower the rear more without sacrificing stroke. I didn't know the GR6 were so pimp. Now get your ass out to the track. Are you going this weekend?

[drift into a curb]

Flybert, you have n1 pros on an s13 right? I have them on an s14 and haven't had any problems tucking like that with preload adjusted. Not as low, but I made sure to cover the tire size numbers. You should be able to go pretty darn low. Just wondering anyway.

[Flybert]

In the front if I pull the lower locking collar out and bottom out the spring perch, I can get another 1/2" but I'd prefer to have the option of having a whole extra inch when I want the car to look gangster. As for the rears, I'd like to go another 1/2" to 1" lower but they are as low as they can go without dropping the lower spring perch and sacrificing stroke. I think I'm just gonna bite the bullet and sacrifice the 1/2" of stroke for the sake of looking good. I pretty much only like 215/45/17 and 235/40/17. Anything with a thicker sidewall isn't cool in my book. I like stiff sidewalls and keeping the car as low as possible. Right now, I run 215 cuz I don't have much power. I'd like to run 235's all around eventually.


For the front, I could try to get some shorter springs from apexi or cut down the top part of the section that bolts to the spindle. That would solve that problem. For the rear, I'm going to take apart the rears and disassemble it into it's individual components. I'm hoping that at the bottom part of the shock there is 1/2" of metal that I could cut off so the shock can go deeper into the housing. Another way would be to find a shorter shock shaft, that way you can bring the whole spring assembly down. If I can figure out a way to shorten the shaft, I'll do it. I just don't want to damage it and make it unrepairable.

All these low coilovers make me think about selling my coilovers until I realize I have n1 PRO and should be shot for thinking about it.

Sil beer S13 is on N1 PROs and his shit is damn low. Covering tire numbers on his wheels too.

I have the same problem -_-....
NICE WHEELS FLYBERTO!
NICE FORD DEALERSHIP SHOTS!

[NemeGuero]

not to thread jack or anything but how do they (GR6) compare to silk roads?

[sideviewcivic]

you my friend qualify for BH status. beat that lip to shit. give it some hard loving before it dies and goes to heaven. action shots will be very nice at that lack of ground clearance. Won't you have to raise the car up a bit with the coilovers settling more. Gimme measurements of the the ground to your fender. Notch it for me pleeez......

[s13panda2004]

I wouldn't be able to survive like that.. I simply can't..

Your car looks freakin' awesome, but, it's too much.. too low..

[Blues13]

Eh, the S14 is too low for my tastes.. but fun to look at nonetheless. It looks like a lowrider with airbag suspension thats been parked especially with those rear wheels.

[Ian]

oh that definately needs to go lower in the front(flybert)

[mr_240sx]

looks good man, dont know how the roads are in cali, but i know in ontario, canada, a car that low can get around fairly easy!!

Damn I love it!

Wow your car almost looks like Brian's from pg, turn signals (or lack thereof) and all! His lip is like 1" off the ground, he has fno1rc's and weds wheels (fn's are in the back though and he has a different model of weds wheels) Your car will look like a hovercraft to anyone driving in front of you. Pretty cool. Be prepared for bent frame rails haha. Dirt drops at Willow Springs are pretty rad too according to what Brian tells me...

[Macadoshus]

I got my S2000 that low. The 240 will be that low. Just glad I don't daily drive either of them cause it is a pain in the ass trying to drive anywhere that low, especially with the monster potholes they have out here. Good luck, looks sick.

[Ian]

i'm assuming they build driveway entrances differently on the west coast cuz i scrape like shit pulling into my driveway...and i'm not tlakin front lip, i'm scraping my rocker panel on the ground

[Sil Beer S13]

The car looks great.

All of you talking ish STFU.

[RBS14]

It is Big Bad BH low. He had his somewhere around 570-580mm, and mine's at 575mm. They won't blow, I'm not worried. I didn't know these coils would be this gangster either. Yes it does look almost like a lowrider, the only difference is this is gonna get driven to shit at this height. Glad yalls like it.

Yea Balcony is fun, and dirt drops are fun there.

Chris, Charlie doesn't have any spots left, but If anyone can't make it hopefully I can drive. I'm gonna be coming up anyways. See ya then.

[Fastback180]

all i have to say is...

Fucking Awesome!!! Screw everyone else...keep doing what you're doing. SLAMMED TO THE GROUND IS WHERE IT'S AT. Your ride is HOT!

[gorgasm]

look soooo hot... but i think you should just give me that lip before u mutilate it, ill take good care of it i promise

[RBS14]

yea, I should probably get another one for when this one gets trashed. It's not a matter of if, just when.

[mr_240sx]

here's an idea for you, if you take off your lip, that would allow you to lower your ride about another inch lower!!!

[Ian]

get a trust lip afterwards


that would be hilarious...the lip would perpetually be on the ground

[HyperTek]

dam flybert, you just had to threadjack with your pictures huh!?!?! =D

[sr20dets13]

man car looks really nice at that level.. my s13 is on kts coilovers and i have it where the frame rail is about 1.5 to 2 inches off the ground lol and can go all the way down but my big difference is im on 15in rims lol so its alil easier for me... flybert beautiful car
