I rolled them for him, didnt test fit them...just kept asking him if that was good. When he liked the roll, I match the other side. He likes them so thats all that matters. I would of pulled less and run negative camber, but not my car. But I still say go lower.... looks good tho

because if 100% of the cars weight is distributed to only 30% of the tire i am pretty positive it will cause more friction than if it was distributed to the entire tire.

You contradicted yourself.

Friction = traction.

Headshot.

slamburger · 03-25-2010, 08:15 PM

I think he meant, friction on a concentrated part of the tire will wear out faster. But since the contact patch is smaller you will loose traction easier.

But on the other hand he's wrong about camber wearing tires...camber doesn't wear tires TOE does.

Bubbles · 03-25-2010, 08:22 PM

If it created more friction you wouldn't 'loose' traction easier.

See what I'm saying.

dued · 03-26-2010, 11:44 AM

I'll be getting megan street coilovers on my s14 soon, will I need the 25mm Front Extended Brackets on them in order to fit a 17x9 +17 wheel in the front?

You're going to need at least a 50mm Front Extended Bracket to fit.

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 03-26-2010, 01:17 PM

couldnt get it any lower with these coilovers....rolled and pulled the fuck out of the fenders..... now i just gotta pull some of the camber out back until it almost touches (maybe a spacer?).... than ill be happy

18x9.5 +12 225/35r18 all around

Nizzan4u2nv · 03-26-2010, 01:39 PM

From the first pictures you didnt.

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 03-26-2010, 01:41 PM

It's a TopStage lip.

You can get them from TOPSTAGE - INNOVATIVE AERODYNAMIC DESIGN
They have them up on eBay sometimes as well.
Very good fitment and easy to fit. If you've got a front mount, you have to trim about 5cm of the inner centre bit of the lip off so it clears the cooler.
