i would hate to have to worry about all the stuff most northern/other states do.
Snow, the salt that makes the cars rust, emissions, 2 lisence plats (not that big of deal) etc

what kind of coilovers are you on to do that with? don't tell me Stance or PBM because I have both of them and they don't have that much lower adjustments.

unless of course you preloaded the hell out of your coilovers, which you are not supposed to do. or you didn't measure at all and just came up with those numbers.

Hawaii gets snow, its a pretty regular occurrence especially on the tops of the volcanoes during the winter ... i visited around Christmas-time once, it was interesting

yeah i also call

[fijiboy04]

so i need some help on tire sizes. i use to run 225/45/17 all around on 17x10+12. now i just need help on 18x9.5+12 and 18x10.5+15. i was thinking 225/40/18 and 235/40/18. any inputs?

[Karlitos]

kw competitions... i took quick measurments and can do so again and take pics. springs are not preloaded. 7/5 spring rates with helper springs... Coilovers were extremely short to begin with, compared to GR-2 struts...

also i am not very low at all, my aero makes me look low but the frame rails and the stock side of the car are high.

to the dude above: i run F:225/40 R:235/40 on 9.5+20 rears sit nicely without any real stretch, fronts have small stretch but nothing extreme.

[s14fbs]

215-40 front
and 235/40 or 245/35 for the rear depends on how much camber low and pull you have

[fijiboy04]

s14fbs wat kind of tires are you using, that must give you some nice stretch. i dont plan on running too much camber, may -1.5 or somewhere around there.
thanks

[nathanong87]

he doesn't actually have those sizes, but he's telling you because we told him about those sizes.

i think* i know what wheels you bought....

anyways.... u should do 215/40+18 + 235/40-18 or maybe like 225/35-18 + 235/40-18. if u wanna get really crazy maybe try a 225/40-18 in the back, but it'll look* small, but it's certainly possibly with a ns-II or feddy.

well i have those 235 tires ready to go on just waiting to use the rest of the life out of the 265

and i bought those rims with the 265 on them and they were brand new so i was kinda stuck with them but once i get my motor out and and back in ill have them mounted right now im just trying to get the car done for a event sat

idk why they call florida fail when we now have fd xdc and drifting all season and no snow

oh, you have the full thread type/sleeve over type unlike the rest of the 240SX coilovers. makes sense now.

[fijiboy04]

Ok cool thanks guys. Yea most likely gonna get the federals.

And nate yea the sizes should give it away. I will have pics by the weekend

[drift_jdm]

my silvia... winter mode... on jeep cherokee mesh for now...

yep, this is how i got them and put them on, max up ride height,

Maybe tomorrow ill take pics next to a ruler or something. if i can find a jack somewhere.

[mad-ass]

seems like the helper springs have a bit of load on them if that's how you put it on the car. the helper springs should not be compressed at all when there is no load on the coilovers, because when the car is on ground/static, the helper springs compress all the way down anyways.

cool beans though, never met anyone that used KW coilovers on a 240 before, how is the ride on them?

[illvialuver]

Hey drift jdm, the first pic of wintermode, looks like that pic was taken near the ladner, richmond area.

[TheClutchKicker]

First pictures of the car.
cant wait to start building her up.

yep its a rare thing, I was going to go with PBM since theyre local to hometown but the people in college convinced me to get good stuff since they are SCCA heads. did some research then these went on sale and took them... they ride super nice for daily driving. each click makes a huge difference. ill see how they do in auto x in a few weeks, compare them to my old shock set up then. They are valved for drifting which makes them a little stiffer than typical KW but still very comfortable.

Ill look into the helper springs thing aswell. from the pics, is just the rears that seem preloaded or the fronts aswell? Because the springs were loose enough to rotate them when they were off but not loose enough that they had up/down movement... ill figure it out next break since i want to try out the extra springs which are 10/8 instead of the current 7/5.

[lysticalz]

anyone know if this car still exists?

[1on1]

i run 225/40's in the rear and hopefully 215/40's up front (front's are currently 215/45, damn seller lied to me!).
