How low can you go?

[RBS14]

Since my last "look how low my car is" thread, I lowered it some more.

hahaha.

Post pics of your slammed 240.

I'll start.

sweet, theres just something ab a slammed zenki!!!! looks just like mine but diff wheels...nice ride

[drift freaq]

damn scott thats just crazy slammed. hahhahhahahha

[lucky7]

i agree. zenki's look best on the floor. thats hot.

[DoriftoSlut]

hey!

look at me

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe

pics of the day buddy! :p

See, this is why we had to start a Pic Thread with no comments. Someone comes in with a picture and asks for more pics and what do they get instead? Silly comments and no pics.
:duh::duh::duh::duh::duh:

[RBS14]

so what if I'm an attention whore?

fack off. hahaha

I want to see slammed cars, not 4x4, engine bays, and god knows what else. pics of the day is too much shit to sort through. not like zt pics of the day..

[Johny5]

zt pics of the day is a holyness zilvia can never dream of touching. that shit looks fuckin ill man, makes me dislike aero, but there's no sleek bumper to put on kouki so its drapery aero for me.

[chmercer]

dude that is awesome. so is your exhaust shaped like a semicircle now? lol. also, are you hitting your outside wheel bead on the ground? that is like, totally riding the edge between sweet and insane. hahahah

As low as the rear can go on Megan Racing coilovers. Front is like, not even down yet.

damn dude your car is retarded low...i wanna slam mine like that but i cant figure out how to keep the front tires from demolishing the fenders...


right now my exhaust at the lowest point gets 2.5" clearance...the lower core support is 3" off the ground or something to that extent

i wanna drop the front about .5-1" or so...the rear maybe another .5"

[JDMark]

mines pretty low, kts on full low with 205/50s.

D-drugs and stock wheels, I need ruca's like crazy, and some wheels. all in good time, I also need more than $40 to my name

[nicks13edge]

damn i thought my coupe was low i have jic a1 coilovers

[Revolver Ocelot]

Dammit, i just raised mine up for my rims! :smash: But Rb your zenki looks sick scrapin the ground like so.

[Ian]

oh i forgot about my new wheels...i'm running much smaller tires and streched ones at that...so it's probably lower overall now...

[dct223]

wow... super slamed zenki looks sweet

[driftracer]

I need to hurry up and get my damn zenki out of the garage....it's been too long. *sigh*

[RBS14]

Tires demolishing fenders: the key to getting it that low is stretched tires. Or smaller wheels, but I like that option as much as banging my head on a wall...

This is sweet, lots of pics of really low 240's. Keep em coming! And which coils they are is good too. Should help take some of the guess work out of how low X coils will go.

Mine are GR-6's btw.

[Wei240]

man, i think you win the award for having the lowest one..

here's mine as some may have seen, older pic with stockers which i no longer have (used to have 12 of them at one point in time), i daily drive this, but want to go lower still...

I actually have a funny ass story about going low. When I first put my coilovers on I totally forgot to adjust them before I pulled my car off the lift and then drove home (only about 10 mins from where I did the install) When I finally made it back to my house I bottomed out on my shitty ass driveway and decided to jack the car up again and look at what was rubbing. When I jacked it up I had the infamous "oh shit im an idiot" look on my face. Worst part of all I had about 3-4 of my friends back at my house laughing there asses off at me :hs:

[decksy]

this is my homie kyles car... pretty damn low... rides along with any size speed bumps... my cars the same height

RBS14, I think you can take the "lowness" award, hands down dude. Daily driven too, huh.. I'm feelin' it.

[sideview_180sx]

I like Kyle's seat and his clutch, damn the joys of working at a restaurant

[TheSquidd]

Silkroads, still has 2 inches more to lower... at which point I would be sitting on my frame. Looks high because of stock aero but the oil pan is about 2 1/2" off the ground. I teeter totter on speedbumps.

[Ian]

yeah, on the S13 the Silkroad/Section coilovers drop VERY low

my friend jordan has them on his otherwise stock body S13, and his car is incredibly low. His exhaust drags on expansion joints on the freeway, it drags through dips in the road lol...i'm sure if he drove through a section of road where the asphalt has been shaved for re-paving it would scrape going down over the little "bump"

[kuruptR]

[IMGinfo]White sil-eighty with wangan wing and kouki tails[IMGinfo]

You cant lower the front much more with 225/45 the profile is way to big the car would not be functional and would not look lowered if you tried taking it down any more. unless you tubb your fenders.

Get 215/40/17 on a 9 is probably the best size you can get if you want to get low with out mods.

woah i didnt post that lol

must have forgotten to log out somewheres

[drift into a curb]

Well you are right. Like that kitted s13 up top isn't even low. And he's got his kit taking up most of the space. Tuck them wheels!

[Johny5]

haha

you guys cars aren't even LOW! jesus half those things are fucking weaksauce.

http://img350.imageshack.us/img350/1517/dscn12824qq.jpg

thats as low as i could go on 18x9.5s before my countersteering ended up in 2 vapor trails in the front of my car and smoked/yellowed my fenders. the rear is maxed on my spl coils, probably gonna preload spring get some tire tuck on in there.

those wheels look huge on the 180. maybe its because its stock body. :-/

[ThatGuy]

Or maybe because they are huge. R34 18" wheels=:rawk:

Not my personal choice, but they look good. :D



\/\/His answer makes alot of sense, too. I'm sticking with my answer though, 18's ARE huge on an S13.\/\/

[BOMEX180]

no its because of the spoke design, goes toward the outer lip make it look liek its real big.

[Jcb890]

YES!! stretched tires and mismatch paint is the shit. I love this thread.

[Ian]

uhh...get real dude, mismatched paint is NOT the shit

and streched tires are for functionality...why is it the shit? it's common place IMO (and personal opinion in functionality at that)

anyhow, like was said before, this thread is about "how low can you go" not "how close can you get to stock ride height w/ aftermarket suspension"

[TougeRacing]

YES!! stretched tires and mismatch paint is the shit. I love this thread.

mismatched paint is sh** (as in crap). :spank:

anyhow, like was said before, this thread is about "how low can you go" not "how close can you get to stock ride height w/ aftermarket suspension"

that one flew right over your head. clearly mismatched paint is not the shit, its called sarcasm.

stretched tires are for fitting huge wheels without rolling/banging out the fenders. stretching the tires, 95% of the time, especially on this board is done so the person can run a super sweet jdm tyte wheel with 0 or negative offset w/ a huge lip.

and i never said anything about stock ride height, a car thats lowered nicely looks great. slamming a car on the ground so the camber is ridiculous and the tires are stretched to shit is a retarded idea.

You're such an ass. :drama: WTF are you going to do with your 18x12s, anyway? You should probably offer to use them as supplemental housing for those displaced by Hurricane Rita.

I think a nice addition to this thread would be how much ground clearance from the lowest point on your chassis you guys have. I'm running 3.25" to the lowest point on my chassis and could probably go lower but... WHY?

Oh yeah, here's a pic of how not-low it is with KTS coilovers:

[chmercer]

uhh, im going to pimp around town on them, and let them collect dust in my pit area when i go to drift events, because i cant spin them, because my whole car is rice?

but at least i dont try to make retarded stale 5 year old jokes because i suck at fitment and dont understand camber gain and sidewall stretch.

oh i understand why RACE CARS are lowered extremely low and SET UP RIGHT so their wheels arent leaning inwards like the leaning tower of pizza. when the car has too much camber, you lessen the contact patch of the tire and that affects the performance, its not rocket science, the more tire on the ground, the better. making the car lower to the ground lowers the center of gravity, which is a good thing, but when you're driving it aroudn to more than track events you're gonna start damaging shit if its too low, and most of the people on this board, and many others (not just singling out 240 owners) just drop their car as low as they can and dont give a shit about stretching the shit out of tires or having the wheel's camber ridiculous so the whole contact patch isnt being used.

slamming a car and putting wide wheels and tires on it is awesome if you're gonna do it right, otherwise, its just a useless way to say "hey, look at me, my shit is cool" and doesn't do a hell of a lot performance-wise compared to actually doing it right.

Yo man common, if your going to start talking shit at least have all your facts straight. First of all negative camber increases your performance. Not in a straight line but in corners. Yes driving straight you aren't using the entire contact patch but slam that car into a corner and the wheel deforms, that in conjuction with the negative camber actually increases your contact patch giving you more grip. yo, everybody pays their money for their shit so you can't always knock everyone for stuff they do. Just leave them do there's and you do yours. Everyones entitled to their own likes and dislikes.

i actually made this face :tweak:


Anyhow, I completely understand why and why not to lower your car very low. When it comes down to it, you can talk all you want, but when it comes down to it, dont knock it 'till you've tried it. I had my car high, I've had it low, I'm going to lower it more. I've run proper tire sizes, i've run ballooned tires and i've stretched them.

In my current situation, I have TRIED all of the various ways to set up ride height and wheel/tires and I am at the conclusion that I want.
-very low ride height
-17x9 wheels w/ +2 front and -10 rear offsets r
-215/45 front and 225/45 rear tires

I am a drifter. I do not daily drive my car if I don't feel like it. This setup works for me. I don't give a fuck what you think about it, but do NOT act like you know more about me and the way I like to set up my car then I do.

Wait are you talking to me or the other dude that made the first post? Cause I was knocking him for talking all the shit about people don't know how to lower their cars properly. I'm 100% for slammed just cause it looks hot, forget all the other shit i couldn't care less what I jack up I just love to look. You quoted me and then at the end of your post you put "asshole" which wouldn't make sense if your knocking me cause i'm on the same side as you about lowering.

[s134]

u guys are all whiney bitches....this is a picture thread... SHUT THE FUCK UP


camber is adjusted to the situation... -camber is not always the best route

Yo man, come on, if you're going to start talking shit at least have all YOUR facts straight.

Negative camber increases contact patch TO AN EXTENT. The wheel itself does not deform any appreciable amount. The tire may roll and the strut may deflect, and that's why we run a negative camber, but not anywhere near -3 degrees on a properly set up car. It just is not conducive to ultimate grip.

SilviaDriver- Yeah, they're his ricey bling wheels. He admitted it. He also thinks that his opinion is the sole right opinion and if we disagree we "have brain damage." By the way, I have daily and track wheels. :wavey:

Chmercer- I have brain damage. Those wheels on that S13 are stupid as hell.

Jcb- I'm kindasorta on your side. I'm more willing to side with you in an argument than Chmercer or SilviaDriver but that's not saying much. You have a point about excessive negative camber and stretched tires but then again, so do they. Drifting requires less overall grip no matter what echelon in which you're competing so you can get away with less sophisticated chassis setup. "Artificially" (as in "not induced by using smaller tires with less stiff sidewalls") reducing contact patch and increasing sidewall size will actually fly in drifting.

1. No the rest of my post was pointed at the dude who tried to school me and a few other people on how making our cars low is stupid. That's why i put "Anyhow" in front of the next paragraph.

2. We are not on the same side. There is a functional reason why my car is very low. I am NOT 100% for "slammed" because it looks "hot". I make my car low, because I like the performance it gives me.

[lilredstiffy]

You guys are majorly retarded for consistently getting upset about people with a car 1 inch lower than 'ideal', a wheel one inch wider than 'ideal' for the tire, and above all arguing about nonsense in a thread challenging who sacrificies the most daily driveability for the sake of looking badass.

Also -3 camber is fucking perfect for front camber. not too much at all...which shows ka24de123 you are knocking something you've never even tried...wtg socal wussbag.

[TougeRacing]

uhh, im going to pimp around town on them, and let them collect dust in my pit area when i go to drift events, because i cant spin them, because my whole car is rice?

but at least i dont try to make retarded stale 5 year old jokes because i suck at fitment and dont understand camber gain and sidewall stretch.

http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/7545/wheels0055sa.jpg
thats the lowest i can go without cutting more out of the fender well. it dosent rub.

^^thats haaaawwwwt fitment. :bigok:

[KA24DESOneThree]

You guys are majorly retarded for consistently getting upset about people with a car 1 inch lower than 'ideal', a wheel one inch wider than 'ideal' for the tire, and above all arguing about nonsense in a thread challenging who sacrificies the most daily driveability for the sake of looking badass.

Also -3 camber is fucking perfect for front camber. not too much at all...which shows ka24de123 you are knocking something you've never even tried...wtg socal wussbag.

-3 is not perfect, and I don't see any reason why my opinions on chassis setup make me a wussbag. Again with the assumptions... do you know me? No, so shut up and sit down. We're both expressing opinions because unless you have the pyrometer readings to prove that -3 is any better what you say is just that: an opinion.

How the hell would you know whether or not I've run -3 degrees camber? I've run -2.8 before but the car was less-well-prepped. I'm fairly sure I could get away with -2.5 or slightly less now but I think -3 is pretty excessive and concedes too much in braking. What was -3 degrees static increases further under compression and, depending on caster, steering angle.

I previously made concessions to the arguments of the lowness crowd. I understand the reasons why you guys do it.

I feel like I'm cluttering up this thread by responding to all these personal attacks. (Yes, I realize I attacked chmercer, by the way) You want to continue to harass me? Take it up in PM, because I'm through. :rolleyes:

[revat619]

This whole argument is retarded considering suspension settings are all subjective. It all depends on the DRIVER. For instance, i hope you all realize that all the guys that are in D1, F1 Racing, Auto-x, etc... all run different settings. Some like more camber than others, some like more toe than others and so on and so forth. No 1 setup is necessarily better than the other. Its DRIVER PREFERENCE. Now everybody STFU and get back on topic. This crap is hella gay. Geeez....

[lilredstiffy]

Not trying to make personal attacks, but you said yourself

"The tire may roll and the strut may deflect, and that's why we run a negative camber, but not anywhere near -3 degrees on a properly set up car. "

and I just found that a baseless statement.
-2.5 is somewhere near -3.

anyway on topic this is my car when im on stock wheels...its pretty low then haha
this was after a coworker nailed my quarter panel when he was leaving work to go to lunch one day last year...hitting my parked car :duh: got the big dent fixed since then

This Kat - chmercer . Is the only one fuckin' with my offset right now. I can't believe this shit. Why can't I show off my car when Its in good condition, oh, I choose not too. Daily Drifter,lol thats funny.I thought this thread was how low can you go, not how wide. half you kats probably don't know why you honestly have wide wheels & tires on your cars, do you?.. ..do you?. .. .Do You? I know, for reals, it's the presence of the Busted Lips, those sexy looking chrome piercing lips, so lovely. Then there are those who actually Go thru the torment of trying to hang a curve @ 80 MPH W/O any chance of curb rash. I feel for all of you. i hate that shit, I have plenty of repair recipts for that, (thanks Sander & TWS)

He's running a 18x12 -20 ( I hope thats not all 4), I'm running a -20x10 Rear, is there any real reason you needed 2 extra inches of wheel. I would love to see that Zenki up against that vette' behind it. .. .I need the well paying job. .. . then I'll have some shit for ya'll worth looking @. lol. nah, I'm talking shit, big Ups to the Zenki.

[chmercer]

err.. huh?

[chmercer]

cool paint, how did you do it?

the paint is vinyl, it looks good in pictures and from a distance, but up close, its got wrinkles and stuff. its cool for the price (~100$). uhh no, its not lip gloss.

KA24DESOneThree - hmm you seem to think everyones car is set up for grip or somthing. straight line braking = i dont care, because i drift. going into corner 80mph > clutch kick > counter > etc. only time i use brakes is when the line is too wide. -3 camber is fine in front for drifting. when you are snapping a car around you get a lot more weight transfer and positive camber gain. corollas run like 4 or more up front a lot of the times, care to judge their setups as well with your awesome roadrace prowess?

NI_YON_Zenki - hrm your post is kindof confusing to read. i mainly got the wheels cause i got a good price, they look awesome, and theyre big enough to allow for pretty much whatever compound i could think of. ive never gotten any curb rash during mountain runs, maybe you have too low of a load rating/arent running enough pressure? yes that is only the rear fitment. the front is 18x10 -7 so not as wide. corvette is my dads, got it a couple weeks ago, its one of the 405hp z06s, has exhaust intake headers high flow cats, and x pipe i think. its so much faster than my car, its sad. but it dosent have ANY steering angle. lol.

in english please?

[Dousan_PG]

no shit
jibberish. wtf niyonzenki?!

in the end
everyone sets their car up differently for what the do, dont see whats the point of harrassing someone because of their setup

[RBS14]

As for the comment of running ridiculous amounts of camber that even a grip car would not be able to take advantage of. When you are drifting, at or near full lock, the leading wheel, with the majority of the weight on it, even with like -3 camber will still have positive camber. that is why running like -4 camber in the front can even be beneficial on a drift car. That's why I run so much camber. And for the rear, since I don't have much power, the slightly smaller contact patch is easier to keep spinning.

Anywho, it just comes down to preference.

[Ian]

Yo chmercer, could you PM me or somethin to point me in the direction of where i can get somethin like that (i promise i wont copy your style lol)

i'm just interested in decent looking paint options...I'm really not wanting to but i'm probably gonna just have to shell out for a paint job...which i honestly cannot afford to do

[chmercer]

you can get the stuff from www.signcatalog.com they have all different types and colors and everything. on the side go to "vinyl for signmaking" and the cool stuff is at the bottom, the metal flake one is what i used. it sucks, but its cooler than primer and if you mess it up you can just stick another piece on. the 24x50 yd rolls that are like 89$ + shipping, that is plenty to cover a whole car with.

[Ian]

they're 24"x30 that you used...

ah...i love your car haha


i'm goin w/ the 2" pulled fenders...17x9 -8 or so...not as hardcore as you but yeah...it's still cool to me! haha

I'll be back in this thread w/ the *2nd* lowest car haha...i'll be pulling up close on RBS14 most definately

[beetlejuice]

ive never gotten any curb rash during mountain runs, maybe you have too low of a load rating/arent running enough pressure?


There are mountains in texas?

[chmercer]

uhh, hills? curvey roads. im not saying "touge". no. NO!!

[beetlejuice]

Didn't know if this was a new development in the geographic make up of the state of texas. I lived there a few years back (45 min west of Ft Worth). Didn't see any mountains. Very few hills too.

only person closest is BH, and unless you can be like them daily it, and have hotass bucket sex with a ZEROS, then maybe you can come up short, haha jk. BTW 17x9 -8, dammit you better just pull and roll, dammit its not wide enough to need over fenders, even the LNR made ones (aka jdmrice flares) make those fenders scream for more pull and camber :rawk:

[sLiDewAys]

wow i compleetly forgot that CAMBER WAS BADD? lmao

is'nt it that more camber in front maximizes traction patch under load/hard conering? this leans more torwards drifting and drifty style grip racing. so lets all just reset your suspension to UDER oe spec


ohhh


yeah, how about we set our camber to 0 front and 0 rear YEAH lets bandwaggon POSITIVE camber guys come on + 3 degree on the front wheels why dont we?

kiss it man. serriously.

and my car isn't even that low

[Ian]

yeah, i raised mine up tonight...i had a problem with my wheel rubbing the wheel well (not the fender...the actual hollow part above it)

is it possible to cut out the inner wheel well? I'm not sure if it's structural but it dosent seem to be...someone let me know because i'm mad that i had to raise it up

I pulled my fenders out about 2" and lowered it so my 225/45/17's are about 3/4" inside the pulled fender...it'd be about 1 1/4" inside the fender if it was not pulled...

aaron, I'm at 565 front/570 rear. hahaha Need to raise the front a tad tho because new tires have more meat and they are rubbing the fender too much. So will be like 570 f/r.

[RedShiftDC]

on another note, how do you keep from rubbing on the wheel well? i hammered mine out some but i think i need to cut it out

[ranisron]

I second that.

Pittsburgh roads are absolutely horrible ...

anyone?

and i'm asking about the rear...fuck the front i'm fine up there...

[chmercer]

rear is the easy shit. front is a pain, since it has to turn, so you cant just slam it.

[Dousan_PG]

huh? no way front is hella easy
meet BFH
and hammer away
simple as that.

rear? hammer
s14 gotta hammer that inner lining crap. beat the hell out of it
make sure you heat it up A LOT THOUGH becasue if you dont youre fender will suck in.
so heat and hammer like none other. put your back into it.

i defintely need to do that. Kinda sucks having 18s up front though. Cant really go as low as i would like.

what if i just cut that bish out?


then again, i'm pretty sure it wont rub anymore, i gave it a good bit of hammering

[justinhustle]

+1 for 18s in the front = too high height

:(

i scrap at my height now and i wanna drop front more, fuckin pita

[Ritz S14]

tucking rear and 4x4 front, i keel jooo!

i do need to lower it a bit tho :wiggle: :mrmeph:

[Dousan_PG]

i wouldnt cut it out
you dont want dirt and grim getting up in there, leadin gto rust, espeically if you drive everyday the car
hammer it.
its not hard at all and it works fine.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

It needs spacers, and a smaller series tire.

you can just chop the whole thing out and throw on some FRP. super clearance. but that costs money *shrug*

You don't get tickets with your license plate like that?

[FaLKoN240]

You don't get tickets with your license plate like that?

Haha, damn, I didn't even notice he had a license plate. I'm sure cops in CA would notice that MORE than someone who didn't have a front plate.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

^^what kinda coils?
If your talking to me they are JIC FLTA-2

You don't get tickets with your license plate like that?
Ive been told to fix it 4 or 5 times, but never a ticket.

[Ian]

why not just keep the plate off completely?

that's what i had a cop tell me..he said it's more noticeable to have it in the wrong place then not at all...bc chances are that if they see the front of your car, they donno where you're from until you're passed by (and many places dont require front plates)

[p11driver]

http://taboclothing.com/frontbig.jpg
i will probably put a front plate on once i have fmic

[TheSnail]

Here in Ga we can rid around with cardboard that says "tag applied" for months if not years.

on tein flex coilovers, can the lower porch drop pretty low?

[S14DB]

Yes, but you have to take the storm shutters off first.

[silviaz]

This is the maximum I can go cuz i already can't clear my place.

So damn hot...

[sultan]

actually it looks like there's no suspension on that corner, you can see part of the broken coilover on the left

here's the car on 205/60-15 with a few threads of height adjustment left (lowered all the way since then). tanabe sustec pro ss, strut broke at the last drift event
http://home.comcast.net/~mbruni13/jun63.jpg

Kookaburraz, you forgot to mention what your suspension set-up is. I'm very interested in knowing, and I'm sure some others are as well. :bow:

He's running KTS. He had to take out a collar for the front I believe to get it that low. The rear I think he had to run slight preload on spring to get it that low.

It's been awhile since he told me, so I am not 100% on that...

Yeah, it's KTS. The front coilover has 2 perches removed. The spring in the rear has about 15mm of free play.

http://www.pinkgodzira.com/albums/album02/4_4_2005_008.sized.jpg

[BOROSUN]

thats a good idea. ima try it.

[SoSideways]

thats a good idea. ima try it.

My friend Eric couldn't get his car low enough with his D2 coilovers, so I took out 2 collars in the rear and moved the springs down a little bit (we bottomed out the lower perch) until the only collar stopped where the lower perch was.

We got the drop he wanted for his car for the rear. Fronts, we'll probably have to do the same.

BTW, Kookz is the man :bowdown:

When the rears are on the front might not be "raked" like that anymore. It might actually come up some.

What size wheels/tires are you running btw?
