SportMax wheels. I think they're style 986 or something. *shrug*

[Team Rootbeer]

yeah, sportmax.......they are the shit for what they cost me, but the sizes fail bigtime- the 17x9 is the good part, the +35 offset made me want to kill myself....i ruined my wheel bearings bc i had 25mm spacers on them.....but they did look pretty good! i got a lot of people asking me if they were the rsz-r's (work) which was nice.....

Haha, me too. Its like a brother from another mother. =)

[HyperTek]

nice s12!! what suspension mods are you running?

[NeedCAforS13]

converted to s13 front suspension: lca's, hub, spindle, brakes, tension rod brackets, and an s14 sway bar.

s13 cusco inverted front coilovers (zero2r I think, I dunno got them used in exchange for doing work on my friends car)
cusco s13 tension rods
aluminum subframe bushings, window weld filled diff bushing
350lb springs in the back on threaded perches on the trailing arms
foxbody mustang AGX rear struts (about 3 inches shorter than stock s12, but same mounting position).
6 point rollcage

and under the hood:

[HyperTek]

need to dial my suspension.. toe and camber is all out of wack.. positive toe on the front, negative toe on the back, and thats not including the camber hehehe

[Ritz S14]

Another hardparked shot. All pretty before Altimont opens up! wooot.

haha... r32 GTR's are 16's... so i just kept normal tire sizes, 225/50/16's

i would do 225/45's but to lower it anymore i think id scrape the shit outta everything in the bay area cus it is still my DD

also.. not really a fan on running tires that are overall smaller, speedo doesnt read right and gears top out faster, really didnt like it at the track drifting...

[HyperTek]

i love Jookybanana's car hehe


I got to re-route my harness, I thought I had it tucked up enough out of harm, but a recent canyon run had proved me wrong from the rim rubbing it.

[jookybanana]

your car is tite too hyper, its hot sauce!
do you run fender liners? when i rub its fender liner so its ok, so its sort of double protection for the harness, but i am starting to rub trough the fender liner after all these years of rubbing, but the harness seems to be sitting far enough that it doesn't get messed

[Flybert]

Jooky, your car is more of a showcar according to proof of your pristine aero and you run 215/40/17. Definitely explains why you don't have problems with the harness just yet. Nonetheless, your car has always looked good except the front sidemarkers. Go clear kouki already.

[HyperTek]

i had tucked it up and thought it was good, guess it was no problem with my old suspension becuase it wasnt as low. but since i lowered it more with the HEs, it rubbed on the front part of the harness.. i lost the fender lining long time ago since i shredded em.

[Ricks15]

Hyperteck did you get the fender rolled or did you put a wide'er one?

[HyperTek]

rear is pull with a baseball bat/pipe.. front is wider fenders.. my rear panal looks craptacular in person tho cuz of poor body filler sanding that i shoulda put more time into b4 gettin the car painted.. but whatever, i could always just cut the panal and put bolt on flares if i wanted to maybe later i dunno.

[Ricks15]

looks nice dude keep up the good work.

This is on Stance coilovers. Rear is lower than I'd like; I'm setting my car up for HPDEs and occasional autocrosses and want proper suspension geometry. However, I can't raise it any higher than this. Maybe its a function of the Z32 rear lower mounts I'm using? I'm pretty happy with how low the front is. I can't go much lower with my 245/40 Kumho MXs anyways. Okay, no idea how to post pics, if someone can tell me how or send me a link to directions I'll post one.

[JVD]

And here I was thinking it could go like an inch and a half lower all around.

Edit: More like half an inch in the rear and an inch in a half up front. Why do you want to be high?
