Coilover size in relation to regular struts

Thank You

what happened to form = function.

now it seems like everyone with nissnas want function = form....

ie. stretched, slammed ass, jdm tyte yo etc.

eh....

ghey imo.

in fact i dont even agree with running anything bigger than 9 inches on the s13, unless your car has the actualy HP to legitimate its use.

but thats my .02 cents

...so yeah go get some fat ass spacers.

Well no one on this thread is wondering about fitting anything over 9"s anyways. I traded my 15x7 rewinds for sportmax's then for work ewing mesh (16x8 +0). I don't think Form = Function, i think its supposed Function>Form.
