New pics, Slammed beyond belief. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

RBS14 · 03-28-2005, 08:28 PM

just took new pics. Lowered the fronts another inch, they're sitting at 575mm now. (top of front fender arch to ground.) Go measure it on your car to get an idea of how low it is. haha front lip is 3 of my skinny ass fingers off the ground.

Damn I love it!

azn_romeox · 03-28-2005, 08:35 PM

Love how it looks, it'll be cool for a few days until u realize you can't do anything. Been there and done it. Hahahah. Love slammed cars though. You'll regret it once you've highcentered one too many times. Enjoy while you can =)

Now you pray that there are no speed bumps preventing u from getting out of that parking lot :P heheee

Ian · 03-28-2005, 08:37 PM

yeah, i'd like to see how long your exhaust lasts

Ritz S14 · 03-28-2005, 08:38 PM

Hm.. When I flip my front tires around on my 18x10s.. I'll be doing the same thing.

ootranceformeroo · 03-28-2005, 08:49 PM

Niiiice scott! new gr6's eh? looks freakin dope but have fun...lol

whend you get those rear wheels? or is that photoshopped?

Nan Desu Ka?! · 03-28-2005, 08:51 PM

... thats cool.. if your parked or MAYBE at the track. daily driving is gonna be a BITCH though. hell im on stock suspention and sometimes i scrape my exhuast when driving in san frisco. (stupid driveways...) i'd hate to see what i would do to my lip/exhaust if i was THAT low. not to mention my fenders and the wiring underneath them. car looks mean standing still though man.

infinitexsound · 03-28-2005, 08:51 PM

definetly a scraper...

mike13 · 03-28-2005, 08:54 PM

let us know when you raise it back up

RBS14 · 03-28-2005, 08:58 PM

Daniel: got the GR6's from Jerry. The rear wheels are borrowed from a friend. If you check my other thread, it has some other pics of them. I started this thread tho cause the other one was getting random and it was on it's second page.

I'm gonna leave it this low for now. Front lip scrapes everywhere, but nothing else. It's going to the track like this tho. I'll get action shots soon.

sw20>>s14 · 03-28-2005, 09:08 PM

hasnt that poor lip been through enough? looks nice

Drunk Bastard · 03-28-2005, 09:12 PM

WOW that is extremely low.

i love it. so how much lower can the gr6's go compared to the HE's?? I have the HE's on my car right now, and I have them at about 90% maxed out lowness...and I still want some more.

samms95s14se · 03-28-2005, 09:18 PM

Yea driving up and down driveways will scap for sure! Just take them all at angles but you will still probably scrap.

RBS14 · 03-28-2005, 09:20 PM

gr6's go about 2" lower in the front without any preload and without any preload the rears go about 3 1/2" lower than the HE's. Everything is better about the GR6's.

Siizzzoooo · 03-28-2005, 09:21 PM

lol thats awesome

luisgonz · 03-28-2005, 09:25 PM

That car so hot now,Iam love with your car dude.Use 2x4 to raise it back up stacked next to each other like a stair way to stock gay height :ghey:

MakotoS13 · 03-28-2005, 09:26 PM

i think i'm the only one on this board that does not like the look of a slammed car unless its a race car.

wow, i didnt realize that you could drop em THAT much. crazy. I'm sure you have specs and reviews in other posts about them, but can you give us a quick review of how you like em and what the spring rates are?
thanks

Joe

SR240DET · 03-28-2005, 09:29 PM

so wait. the gr6s have an estimated 4.5" +/- .5 up front and 6.0" +/- .5 in the rear?

RBS14 · 03-28-2005, 10:07 PM

Quick review of the GR6's:

9/7 springrates with 6 levels of dampening adjustability. Messed around with the dampening a bit, very precise and crisper than the HE's. HE's were sloppy from start to finish, where as these are much better build quality from what I can see/feel. I've got them on full soft for the street, but full stiff is ridiculous. More than enough for me for any track setting. Spring preload and height adjustability are independent. However, on both the front and rear, the height adjustability runs out when it hits the lower spring perch collar. Therefore, more preload will allow you to go even lower. With my car in the pics above, I still have another 1 1/2" of height adjustability in the front and about 2" in the rear. Basically, they go low enough for ANYONE's needs. Frame rails would literally be 1" off the ground fully slammed. Hell, if I slammed the fronts all the way, my front lip would be sitting ON the ground. Literally. Ride quality is great, stiffer than the HE's obviously, but not too much. Ride quality is nicer than the HE's tho, dispite the stiffer springrates. Even my G/F agrees. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn't have thought twice about getting the HE's. GR6's all the way. Well worht the extra few hundered $$.

Don't get me wrong, the HE's served me great, and are a good entry coilover, but the GR6's pick up the slack in all the areas the HE's fall short.

Front turn signals were relocated to the corner lights. A little dremel work, epoxy and bam! More air cooling for brakes and tires. Turn signal wires are long enough too, no need to lengthen.

Jdotsturn · 03-28-2005, 10:22 PM

i dont like tucking the tires on cars, in my opinion it doesnt look clean. I like the drop where the tire fits perfectly inside the wheel well no tuckin, now thats sexy

kazuo · 03-28-2005, 11:05 PM

Looks good Scotty.

But I think it needs some aero!

Touring240 · 03-28-2005, 11:39 PM

love the old skool weds on the back!

RBS14 · 03-29-2005, 12:05 AM

Sorry, not Weds. I wish. They're Gartmaier Mainbachs.

Nice write up...this is great motivation to save up sum more cash and sell the old coilovers.

Maeda · 03-29-2005, 12:17 AM

Scott. I know you like the way it looks but I have just one question for you.

Can you fit your toes underneath the bumper? I sure looks like you can to me, so therefor it's not low enough. =).

*revat619* · 03-29-2005, 12:37 AM

Scott, you my friend are insane! i dunno how you drive it like that everywhere, but if you can, then more power to ya!

RBS14 · 03-29-2005, 12:40 AM

haha John have you been talking to that little devil on my right shoulder? You guys are saying the same thing.... haha but It's low enough for me. Once I get my other FN's on the rears, it'll stop rubbing and I can thrash it and see if it needs to go up or down. As it settles, it keeps getting lower, I stopped by Speed Alliance today after work and I couldn't fit my shoe under my front lip. It's ridiculous. As long as I can still drive the shit out of my car at this height I'll leave it. If I have to drive like a pussy everywhere, I'll raise it up a tad.
