Damn really struck a chord with that Australia comment lol and yes I realize laws are super strict over there and most of the awesome looking cars are track cars

Doesn't change the fact they look better than the majority of cars over here

I C , s13 coils to go lower. 86's are about that super light old school N2 action! I don't see why they need to be super low. o well

haha, can't wait to get my 86 running, slowly gathering rare parts, for instance just recently I found another gts underdash harness after the PO wired it incorrectly and burned the harness in my gts. finding underdash harnesses before people buy them is hard.

anyway longchamps are my favorite old school wheel, we need more longchamps love!

Are you sure the struts are ae86? Thought e chassis strut have different king pin angle to a chassis. Theyd give you positive camber

Also not sure how you could go lower with s13 suspension, my ae86 and ke70 both have 86 front and theres no way you could drift with anything lower

The front struts are AE86. The rears I'm not 100% sure. Rears might be Celica struts.

Anyway enough talk about my boring car. Someone buy my Hayashis.

OT:

Reminds me of a time when silviaks2nr was going to use 16" BBSs on his car. I should've bought them. The USDM bumper goes better with the small wheels IMO.

I'm trying to achieve this shakotan look with my S13 but I'm having a bit of difficulty. It looks as if most of these builds have dropped their suspension more than 4". This is to run 15 or 16 and have it without wheel gap.

I wonder what most people run for coilovers then because mine are maxed out at the spring at 4.25". With 16" I still get wheel gap :/

Have you tried removing your locking collars to get the spring perch lower?

If you're not interested in getting a different set of coilovers, you could get shorter springs for your current coilovers. Measure the ID of the spring, determine the overall length you need, and poke around online. That's what I did to get my rear lower.

I like it in here. Sold my 18s, looking for little wheels.

Yea but I thought it was all street stuff in the early 90s. Also that video is awesome.

Yea man you would only think but not for nothing a course like Sports land Yamanashi ( i believe there was a carboy 89 drift gp) and that southern part of japan have been drifting for a very long time, teams like drift ensemble have been around forever. even in our late 20's and early 30's for us to have known about those years and drifting, when we were young lads would of been nearly impossible. when i was young the most i caught was the late 90s option vids when they go around the wangan checking out everyone's t88 r32, r33, etc...

I've thought about getting shorter Swift springs. But won't that modify the stroke of the shock absorbers, leading to bottoming out? About the spring perches; could you move the spring locks under the bottom mount on the fronts? My rear has enough adjustment for lowering. It's the fronts that are maxed at 4.25"

[jaysgottaredtop]

For me, it was the rears that needed shorter springs. Yeah, bottoming out is a concern, but my shocks haven't blown with the short springs, so I guess all is well.

For the fronts, yes, you can move your lock collar underneath the mount. That's exactly what I did.

so is this like this thread only for dem fat wheels? because I feel like we should have an "early 2000's US/ early 90's Japan stock car with stock ride height OG Nostalgia thread"

Like this. deez rims be strange and dis car be stock

Yea. It's crazy how much the internet has changed things. Option and Drift Tengoku were the only windows to that world back in the day...
