Ya that is close man but looks sexy man. Here is a pic of my car uncamber but tucking the same. I think I am going to lower it a bit cause the uncambering raised it about another .25 of an inch.

any side profile of the wheels? looks sick

 

[mebarsh]

man will your as low as i used to be. jealous since i can't go that low anymore with the pro. but here's the new whip slammed.

 

[rar40941]

U can go that low on a protege

Decided I am going lower. Turns out my front springs were not 20mm shorter like I ordered previously. Hopefully I just need new springs and not shorter struts in the front. Need to check how far the bottom of the strut is from the axle.

Dude u ca jus leave it the way it is but have it descend on the spring and u will dumped

I am all the way down in the front with the spring compressed with 8mm of preload. There is no going lower unless I pull the collar, and that only nets me 1/4" and is the same amount of work as replacing the spring. I would rather just get shorter springs and do it the right way with correct preload.

Ya I thought if u had shorter spring u have it raised all the way so it's like 5 mm's away from the axel boot and then have it disend and inch and a half onto the spring ya I had it like that my s*** was like .5 inch off the ground

Can anyone give me some incite on the clearance issue between my exhaust and lateral support; should I just look into getting a different S bend done, or is running it under the sub frame a feasible idea?

Good to hear someone likes to do it right . Pre load is never good on any strut. Should always have 2/3rds of the shock travel devoted to compression and the other third devoted to rebound

Your lateral arms are hitting what?

 

[rar40941]

What is is hitting ?

 

[MP5stephen]

RSB hits lateral arms. Adjusting rear endlinks slightly shorter barely helped. I have a reverse rake. Although car appears near level(sideskirts to ground). I do want to fix that though. These cars have a natural rake from factory. As soon as I get around to replacing my front fender liners and installing my AAC bumper brackets, I'll spin my coils up. I'll also need another front end alignment. That reminds me I need to find my measuring caliper.

 

[rar40941]

U need to get longer endlinks to put it under the later arms

 

[Circuit]

+1 to longer endlinks. MSP RSB also helps a lot since it is shorter and sits below the lateral arms

 

[slipkornvayne]

started the process of putting the coils on. the fronts for now since im still finishing up my 5 speed swap plus a lot of mp3 goodies.

pic of a set of z31 turbo wheels i got from my buddy not very wide but a decent offset

 

[rar40941]

I am digging it man
