help me before i do something potentially stupid

[reed1285]

aight people...im making the drive tomorrow to buy my origin-lab aggressive rear bumper and side skirts from a fellow member on here. i will buy the front bumper after the holidays. anyways, i have a whole garage full of parts to put on my car after the first of the year. this includes a set of eibach sportline springs (their lowest drop springs) and a set of tokico shocks. i simply cannot afford a good set of coilovers right now...so im gonna be sportin the sportlines for awhile. what i wanted to ask is do the think the origin kit will rub/scrape everywhere i go running that setup? cause id hate to get the springs on there and then have to take them off cause i cant even get out of my driveway in the car. thanks for any help.

p.s. im runnin on a set of 17's right now with a 45 series tire... but am upgrading to 18's after the first of the year, probly around springtime thanks again

umm don't thin..k so. You'll still be high even with the springs,so with that said..don't get a bodykit :D

yeah ive thought bout holding off on putting the kit on till i get a set of coilovers but idk if i will have the willpower lol...goin in the garage everyday seein it just sittin there

as long as your wheels arent really sunk in it will look fine on those springs. Sure it will look better lower, but the wheels will be the problem right now

damn...thats bad for me cause for some reason my wheels...particulary the back...are sunk in pretty bad. idk if they have a huge positive offset or what...when i get home from memphis i will take some pics so you can see what im talking about. thanks for the input

maybe just some good ol fashion wheel spacers till i can afford new wheels? never used them before...anything i should look out for?

[fliprayzin240sx]

It's not gonna drop that much. You'd be lucky to see an inch and a half w/ sportlines. Here's my old car for reference. I even cut a coil or two later cuz it was still high for my taste. http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/1/1256/4981/3139990026_large.jpg

If you do spacers make sure they are hubcentric.

I have lowering springs on right now with a full dmax body kit, i only drove it home from the body shop but long as u know ur angles you shouldnt scrape much or anything as i didnt. ps being from sask with our harsh winters our roads are shit.

the thing is spacers arn't cheap, save up for some come coils/rims then slap on a kit.

[iamtheyi]

Don't do it. Don't cheap out. You'll spend more money. Just look at it and save money while trying to realize your goal. You'll be that much happier in the end. I would know.. cheaped out a couple times for the sake of having whatever part and it ended out badly. :D.

[reed1285]

Thanks for all the advice...I think I've decided to wait to put the kit on till I get some coilovers...still gonna lower it using the eibach springs just not gonna put the kit on...maybe just a front lip or somethin
