Slammed

[240speed]

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.

slammed is for stupid people and race cars.

[Flybert]

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

bwahahhahahaahahhahaahha :werd:

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]

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

[S14DB]

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

[Ghst 01]

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

true about the race car thing.....dumb ass...quite possible. but knows nothing about suspension geomentry? nah. just wanna dump the car for the hell of it. and its not impossible to have a fully funtional super low car on the street.

fredo: you gonna head to cantons bbq next month?

fredo: you gonna head to cantons bbq next month?

Not sure yet.. depends if i have to work.

[Dousan_PG]

my cars dumped 6 ways to sunday
but i also replaced all my suspension
i still must be a dumbass. shit!
flcas and new rlcas coming up next...idiot!!!

[rainier]

i dont remember. look at my sig and thats how low it was

[mr_240sx]

mine sits about 2.5 inches from the ground. it is also daily driven!

[nismo2491]

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

[Drunk Bastard]

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

[Ian]

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]

GANGSTA LOW! CHECK OUT MY ALARM/KEYS

[240speed]

you guys are fricking hilarious... if i had mine as low as yall my bumper would surely be ripped off in a week.

[black s13]

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

i moved that harness long ago. i think its like 1.5 along the front lip?

[soarer240sr]

hilarious??? i guess u live in a fuck'd up neigborhood thas why u rip ur front bumper lol.. i drift my car and daily drive it like the way it is..... BALLER GANGSTA STYLE !

[myleftlung]

Not enough:

[Nismo180]

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

Down a little more than 2" from stock.

[240speed]

hilarious??? was the big deal with our setup??? i guess u live in a fuck'd up neigborhood thas why u'll ripped ur front bumper lol.. i drift my car and daily drive it like the way it is..... BALLER GANGSTA STYLE !


yeah i was just refering to mine... im almost 7" off the ground and i scuff mine up all the time.

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

[raen419]

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]

K Style makes a skid plate but for sr20

[raen419]

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]

just soo coo to slam it,
yeah, zenki lip is thrashed, ~1.5-2 from ground, daily driven

[luisgonz]

myleftlung-that shit is hot hit me up

[v8blakdak]

hit me up 2 i wanna discuss those wheels

[NemeGuero]

MUHAHAH comin' out of the drive way.. at an angle.. I'm not really that low.. plus I ditched the kit

[hotrodv]

To stay on topic.. Anyone can give me some suggest for replace the wire on the left fender wheel and the hood wire? I want slam it a bit more but the wheel hit the interior right now..I've take a look at the wire but seem not easy to replace it or the wire of release hood..
:wtf:

Take the fender off and relocate the wiring harness up above and squash it between the frame rail and the fender.

Also the metallic wire of the hood? thanks flybert!! :kiss: :D

[Flybert]

Yeah, you can relocate the hood cable up there too. Use plenty of zipties to keep those wires out of harms way and slam your car as low as you can go.

Here is a link to a friends page. Nice little writeup.

[revat619]

^^^ i did that on my s14 and i dont rub, but its reeeeally close cuz my car is pretty slammed. FWIW, on s14's you dont have the luxury of putting the harness over the frame rail like on s13's. The closest you can get is right next to it. Definitely not above it though. When my 18s get here in the next few weeks, i'll definitely have to relocate the harness to engine bay. I refuse to raise my car!

[hotrodv]

Sorry for my misunderstoudment but is it actuable to the S14 too or not? If yes I do it soon.. :rawk:

[s14slide]

Right now I'm about 4" off the ground up front and too high in the back. But my MR's are on the way, and once I have those, I'll be using the Battle version "weld-ins" for the FLCA's and the SPL tie rod setup. So I hope to keep the front end geometry pretty close to what it's supposed to be. Once I get all that crap, I still have to fix my front overfenders and relocate the harness for mass drop. Trying to get the front about 1"-1.5" off the ground. Man, I still have to scrounge money for flying back to the states, sogukai(sokukai?), and I really want to do my power mods this summer. Damn! Anyone to make donations?

[Flybert]

Battleversion "weld ins" do nothing in terms of helping bumpsteer. They just help the LCA from binding, give more precise control, and allow you to widen the track.

No shit they don't help with bump steer. I never said they did. So don't go typing words into my mouth. That's what the tie rods are for. And your right, they [FLCA WI's] do help prevent binding, which tends to happen when you slam a car, especially with the design of the front sus. And being as short as the s13 arms are, doesn't help the situation at all. But all in all, having all that extra adjustment with all the aftermarket goodies up front will help with getting a slammed car as close as possible to the stock geometry of the suspension. :rl:
