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

Big Bad BH: those guys at signal are fucking maniacs. haha and you are too. We should start a club. Like you said on ziptied, 580mm.

Havn't had probs with cops yet *knocks on wood*

I'd go lower but with stock sways, at full counter my fender would be making love with my tire more than it already does. BH, was that pic you posted above with 205/40 on 9j? If it was, I should be able to go lower. hahaha

yes
205 40.

see, the problem at that height is, you hit everything.
road reflectors, anything.
you know the streets where the big trucks start to make grooves?
DO NOT drive on those.
i tell from experience!
haha well, unless you like everything under yoru car to scrape the ground like a mother.

haha i love your car brian when it was like that
so sexy

too bad sparking your under body on the freeway and hitting every bump in the road messes that up
i think the height it is at now is ok
could be worse
i have to measure mine i think im the same as you..minus the saggy bumper ..who did that? wtf. jackass.


scooter
this is nice
but gets old fast
even at very low its just annoying.
espeically when upgrade to FRP aero parts
you scrape ALL parts of body kit ...front sides AND rear. it sucks

Aaron, I know what ur saying. The only thing is, I'm never getting aero unless I get it thrown at me, or for dirty cheap. so, uh yea, basically never. I've got other things I want to spend my $$ on. I like the height it's at now. Kinda annoying, but that felling goes away immediately when I step out of or get into my car and see how dead sexy it is this low. mmmmm

Like Danno said to me last night "obviously these guys have never been to japan before"

some of you dudes are just pussies...maybe it's because i like ghetto shit and stuffed slammed beyond belief...but when you see a real nice ass S14 rocking a sparkling paint job, and the body is scraping the ground on bumps...you gotta love it.
i guess it's just cause i like to drive my car...if my Uras bumper splits in half or the bottom "lip" if you will cracks...that shit's just gettin taped and zip-tied back and stayin the way it was.

Custom 3" exhaust with Tanabe muffler and 3" catco cat. Nope, never broken a hanger. Yet.

No, I'm not gonna blow my coils cause they still have full stroke. Search and see how dual height adjustment coils work.
