I was just wondering how far everyone's front is from the ground. Mine's stock suspension with a stock bumper and it's 6 5/8".

Oh and i just painted my front lip. It was all f'ed up with deep gashes in it. It was more than a pain in the ass to get it done right. First i sanded it down, which made it really rough and nasty looking. I painted it flat black in which looked ugly as hell. So i decided to do it right. I went and bought some primer and metallic black spray paint. now that i had painted it flat black, that had to be removed. paint thiner is all i had but i came off pretty easy. I sanded the bitch down again and painted it with the primer. Then sanded it again to get a really smooth surface. then i painted it again with the metallic black. I really didn't think it was going to turn out as good as it did. (just thought i would share)

i slammed mine for a day..then the sway bar rubbed on every big bump on the freeway. it was only 2 inches off the ground. So i raised it up again.

MakotoS13 · 05-28-2005, 02:39 PM

slammed is for stupid people and race cars.

Flybert · 05-28-2005, 03:19 PM

1" off ground with zenki lip on chuuki bumper. Slammed is for cool people who drive their race cars on the street.

Posting to say anyone who drives a street car 1 inch from the ground:

1. Doesnt drive a race car
2. Knows nothing about suspension geometry
3. Is a dumbass

JDMark · 05-28-2005, 05:28 PM

im about 2 inches exactly with zenki lip (on zenki), kts coils on full low with 205/50s

***S14DB*** · 05-28-2005, 05:46 PM

I leave 3" for the speed bumps around here. That's the legal limit. But there is always the private lot mountain.

Ghst 01 · 05-28-2005, 07:20 PM

3" to clear speed bumps.... zenki lip is all f*&# up...

mr_240sx · 05-29-2005, 02:01 PM

nismo2491 · 05-29-2005, 02:20 PM

not sure, mine is on stands on the moment, whatever kyb agx and sportlines on ka-t puts it at

Drunk Bastard · 05-29-2005, 03:01 PM

just barely low enough that it DOESN'T rub my wire harness..

Ian · 05-29-2005, 03:03 PM

when you lower it past a certain point w/ the stock lower control arms, the geometry gets kinda screwed up.

i just raised mine some actually. I was tucking tread on my front tires w/ 225/45/17's and i nearly lost my left frame rail and most of my wiring harness while i was at the track due to the fact that it was too low. Dropping into a 20* bank at 50 mph wasnt so nice to my undercarraige.

soarer240sr · 05-29-2005, 04:47 PM

GANGSTA LOW! CHECK OUT MY ALARM/KEYS

240speed · 05-29-2005, 05:03 PM

myleftlung · 05-29-2005, 07:39 PM

Not enough:

Nismo180 · 05-29-2005, 07:51 PM

Just low enough so I didn't comprimise suspension travel, or cause bump steer.

Down a little more than 2" from stock.

need to make a skid plate, the dents on the oil pan are adding up

raen419 · 05-29-2005, 09:41 PM

my car is about 3.5 inches lower than stock...and i think i have roughly 4.5 inches from the frame rail to the ground.
currently making a skid plate. i'll post pics and a write up once everything is on and looks clean.

so far looks like my oil pan only has one major dent, and luckily, it's only about .25" deep.

TokyoNights · 05-30-2005, 09:42 PM

K Style makes a skid plate but for sr20

raen419 · 05-30-2005, 09:54 PM

k style skid plate would work on KA too.
i'm hoping to finish mine up tomorrow afternoon. just need to rethread one hole on tc rod brackets and drill new holes in aluminum...then it's on to the heat shield for my cheapo intake....

Wei240 · 05-30-2005, 11:57 PM
