i'm sorry, but i'm gonna have to agree with this. i prefer something comfortable and good on gas for a daily. i drive a '77 Z DD right now and its neither. Its not low but the suspension is quite stiff considering stock. My s13 has stance coils, etc. which I refuse to DD so I also picked up a 100% stock S14, looking to DD that when funds are available to fix it. Driving on coils, welded diff, and SR as a DD? No way, I love the feeling but not to everyday all day.

rhd_sw20 · 07-17-2008, 12:40 AM

low enough to scrape sides and exhaust all at once

derek_s13 · 07-17-2008, 02:03 AM

^^^
holy fuck aahahahahahaha

tigermack · 07-18-2008, 02:27 AM

shift_jin · 07-21-2008, 04:23 PM

1.2" in the front 1" in teh rear

Bobafreak · 07-21-2008, 06:50 PM

^ shits weak.

Taniguchi_Is_#1 · 07-21-2008, 07:25 PM

those were the days. twas a joy living in philly with a car that low and stiff.

motegineon · 07-21-2008, 11:52 PM

spark plug socket

firelizard · 07-22-2008, 10:24 AM

It's higher than I'd like, but it already rubs hard in the rear, and the front damper is barely clearing the the axle.

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 11:05 AM

My car with no aero's. Yeah my plates are showing but i own a locked garage and cars that block it..goood luckerzzz!

sickest s13coupe dd !!!

SoSideways · 07-22-2008, 11:08 AM

^That, sir, is badass.

I am contemplating doing that shit with my car. Putting the stock exhaust back on for maximum clearance!!!

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 11:13 AM

It takes a boss to be that fuckin low. i dont recommend this if you are dd. I scrape every fucking thing to mankind. I hate gas stations with hills and slants. Speed bumps are always chunked after i go over it. I cant get a alignment due to the rear. But i fuckin love it!

Ninjabread · 07-22-2008, 11:14 AM

Lol, it's like my apexi megaphone, better clearance than any other exhaust I've ever seen because it has that bend after the diff instead of going straight.

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 11:20 AM

i cant get another exhaust due to the clearance of my driveway. But i still plan on getting the blast pipes. heres more pictures of what i mean. my driveway

how low i am before the drop. sometimes i need a push if i dont accelerate enough to clear it.

i should have taken a picture of how bad the exhaust gets hit and the rear but i would be in the street with oncoming traffic. lol next time.

SoSideways · 07-22-2008, 11:58 AM

Yeah at my current ride height, which isn't even that super low to a lot of you guys, I still scrap my parents' house's driveway on my downpipe.

I need the PBM Cobra downpipe... when is it gonna be ready?!?!?!

240trainee · 07-22-2008, 12:13 PM

Custom, and it should hang pretty well.

That looks damn cool, get the front down some more!!!!

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 12:17 PM

yeah im thinking about another inch and a half. i bought wood now just in case i need assistance. 12in wide x2in thick x4ft lenght. Thank you lowes.

240trainee · 07-22-2008, 12:22 PM

Yea, and angles are your friend.

I could get up that driveway with my car with minimal scraping, and this is what I'm working with. Actually a little lower now, and silvia front, but still....

slipin101 · 07-22-2008, 12:25 PM

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 12:29 PM

I just might have readjust the camber though i dont want to. If i even wanted to get it where the rim is close to the fender with the camber similar to how i have it now, the rim sizing would be my issue. So ill have to go your route. I cant even get a alignment due to the rear. 5 shops turned me down even west covina nissan lol.

240trainee · 07-22-2008, 12:33 PM

Why do you have so much camber in the rear?

Pull the fender a bit, and pull the wheel out.

I don't see any reason why rim size should be a problem for you. I'd get a smaller front tire, lower it down, little fender pulling, and less camber.

Done and done.

Bobafreak · 07-22-2008, 12:36 PM

I had it like that because i wanted to get away with it for a while(seeing how low the coilovers could go) and then i was like fuck it. Its bad ass leave it lol. But yeah im going to get it taken care of. When its 100 degrees outside you dont wanna do shit so it sits in the garage lol.

240trainee · 07-22-2008, 12:39 PM

So true, I feel ya on that one.

Bobafreak · 07-23-2008, 01:12 PM

Back from the shop

240trainee · 07-23-2008, 01:23 PM

looks pretty good

Steps to sucess

roll fenders, slight pull

Flush alignment in rear

raise rear a bit

lower front a bit.

Good to go.

ZX88 · 07-23-2008, 01:43 PM

damn boba crazy camber in the rear!!!

drftwerks · 07-23-2008, 01:50 PM

i guess ill play

at first

then

test fitting skirts

now

fitting front bumper ( and yes i did puss out and raise the car, before the bumper, but i have a feeling its still not enough, i might need to step up to 18/19 stagger.)
