But like you said it's probably better to get shorter spring.

Thanks for the answer.
Getting a shorter spring isnt going to make a difference unless your going to droop that as well, in that case your better off just drooping the springs you have on there currently.

Yes it will handle shittier.

Anyway, what size spacers will I need to fit Z32 brakes (30mm) with my SE wheels? I don't know if my SE wheels are the good or bad design.

EDIT: Added a picture of the back of the wheels so that somebody may chime in and help me out:

Anybody? msg lngth

dude, put the brakes on, and then put the wheels on and see if they fucking fit. Then measure to see if you need spacers.

You have all the elements of the equation now just solve for "X" as the variable and go get some fresh air before you hurt yourself.

*EDIT*
A simple google search of "s13 SE wheels z32 rakes" would have netted you the answer much quicker and easier. I didnt even use the word "brakes" and i still got the answer on the first response

Good wheel design:


Bad wheel design:



So NO, your wheels wont fit

But if he doesn't play ANY games, being a noob, im sure searching through all the JDM TYTE YO parts on ebay, he would have seen that mugen parts are all for honda.

If you just want to be low, chop your springs.

I just did a 5 speed swap on my s13 over the weekend and everything went really good my car felt great. But just yesterday it died on me. I drove it all day Monday and Tuesday no problems and on Tuesday I drove it with the a/c on for the first time and after I parked and turned it off it didn't want to turn back on. It just makes the starting noise and doesn't turn on I'm guessing it's the starter but it's wierd because it gave me no problems whatsoever so could it be anything else? All electrics still work fine

forgot to mention that when i tried starting it i tried giving a little gas and it smelled like gas but i couldn't find where the smell was coming from. also i push started it and it ran fine

Am i allowed to post question regarding general forum use? Si?

Well here it is. What's the exclamation sign mean when it's shown to the left of a thread? I'm trying to purchase something through Lust Garage but about half of their threads(Including the one about the purchase) have an exclamation mark to the left.

What does it mean? Scam alert? :l

^^No, doesn't mean scam alert. Just an exclamation point. It is in a "yeild" sign so I could see how you would think it would mean "watch out" or "beware". But it's just an exclamation point, meaning that whatevers in the thread is exciting or whatever. Same thing as a thumbs up or smiley next to the thread.
