why not just get a oem silvia/eastbear front lip (same thing) for the non aero bumper?

...What it is supposed to come with!

no, they're real. iirc.

I have never seen a ITR lip on a non aero bumper, whoever is talking about that shit is funny in the head.

No, they are real CR Kais. 17x9 +17 245/40 all around. Don't really have any good pictures from behind, but this is what I had in my photobucket:

yea, It seems like you would have to cuts the ends a little shorter.

cause that thing sticks out too much (IIRC). The ITR lip is more subtle but visually lowers the front end a bit.

Whats funny about it? I would prefer aero bumper but the prices are getting ridiculous. Just wondering how this would look as a cheaper, temporary alternative.

dude its a factory made lip, not origin or vertex haha

Eastbear makes the same factory lip, just made in frp

[gearhead55]

So? It still sticks out too much.

[spray2020]

I think its the perfect shape, considering that the oem bumper angles inwards, the opposite angle of the lip complements the bumper- but yes, to each his own.

At least it's better than a pignose lip on a standard bumper, which always sags in the middle.

[gearhead55]

I agree. I don't like pig lips on regular bumpers. I just would like to see an ITR lip on a regular bumper. I'm just interested.

[spray2020]

^ I think you could fit it- but the ends will stick out I bet on a non aero bar. The aero bar isn't angled so the distance from the front of the bumper to the back is about equal to a dc2 jdm bumper. But with the standard bar I think you would need to cut and plastic weld the wheel well mount pieces back on. On the s13 silvia optional lip, it has metal tabs that are riveted to the lip, and has a 8mm hole that a bolt goes through and bolts to the fender. You could do the same with the itr lip.

[soundbwoy]

^^^ that grey stylish silvia is sick. i am looking for a kit for my white / gold but i think some aero looks wack on 2 tone. i'm thinking chargespeed or g corp but i dunno if it will work as good as that origin business. what do u guys think?

[KansaiKurisu]

Does anybody know how i could get my rear camber back to 0 degrees without lifting the car back up?
When i lowered it i got a couple degrees negative camber. I've heard of RUCAs but i cant find out if they only add negative camber? I think i need to add ~posative~ camber just to get it back to 0 degrees.

Remember gents, Flush not Hellaflush, No camber for me.

yea thats what I was thinking. I guess I just might have to be the first to try it. Also I like that you Aussies say 'bar' instead of bumper.

dude are you serious. Why would rucas only be adjustable in one direction? Plus, why would you want 0 degrees of neg camber? To maximize the contact patch when cornering you need to dial in some negative camber.

Looks like my two-tone will be sold tomorrow night we never even got to know each other. All my things are packed for the move to the Kouki S14 thread.

[holslut s13]

Thank you, I like the setup and once I go 5 lug Im going to run those wheels, but in white.

Kazama, Tanabe, or SPL adjustable rear arms

[!Zar!]

Kazama links suck.

SPL, PBM, or Battle Version is all i would run/suggest.

Adjustable links can make a car go extreme positive/negative. So pretty much they will do whatever you want.

[singlecamslam]

Less talking more two tones?

[KansaiKurisu]

Cool, thanks for the help guys. Does it really matter what brand i buy? Money is hard to come by with me and i dont plan to race in this car. Or should i just save up and get them imported.
and an old picture.

[gbaby2089]

Wait, so why do you want 0 camber? To ruin the handling or what? Even stock cars don't have zero camber.

lol yeah i fail, i mean i want to get it back to its original camber, the extra degrees of neg camber is driving me mad for some reason. also want to get it done to know whether it needs spacers to make it flush or not. When i fitted the wheels for the first time, i think i saw that the wheels were flush with the arches, then when i lowerd it they went heaps in. needs fix.

[gearhead55]

I have battle version. They work.

Needs spacer. No fix. :P

I have a thing against over-wide spacers. I think they're a lie and i can't see myself running anything over 20mm if i can fix camber first.

[Newtypex]

Spacers make up for the fact that you bought the wrong size wheels.

except, i didnt. Remember what i said like two posts ago? about my wheels being perfectly flush with my fenders?

[axiomatik]

You will need toe arms to go with the RUCAs. Adding positive camber with RUCAs (to make it less negative) will make your rear go toe-out and get real squirrely and wear down your tires quickly.
