Lowering a Car with HICAS? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

hey guys,

Sort of a noob question since this is my first out of 4 S-Chassis with Hicas but....

Plans are to put some coils in, 5 lug, wheels, roll the fenders blah blah blah..

If the car is slammed will I run into any issues with Hicas making the wheels rub on the fenders or anything etc.

Or should I just get the Tomei Electronic Eliminator and call it a day.

Thanks guys

I could be wrong, I've never dealt with the HICAS personally, but I don't believe the rear wheels turn nearly as drastically as the front. I would think you would be fine in the back. Of course, this also depends on how wide of a wheel/tire you are going to run. With my 17x7 Enkei RS5, lowered 2.25", I feel I would have plenty of room in the back to do HICAS if I wanted.

EDIT: I am referring to the S14. I have no clue about the S13.

the rear wheels turn 2-3 degrees max, i believe.

depending on your fitment, i doubt you'd run into problems. Unless you are already rubbing under load, i wouldn't be worried.

I know it's very minimal turning but Im going to be running 17X10 +12 FN's and the car will be low so i don't know..

Thanks anyways
