If you did just the sil face, then the front gap will be larger, plus I think the fenders are a little wider. Id you did sr and sil then it's ligher and larger. Haha. My old s13 had a gap of about 6" easy with the sil front on stock shocks.

Thats odd, my Sil front didnt change the gap at all. The gap isnt much provided I have springs.

my car wheel gap went from good to bad in the front, after my strawberry face and my sr, i guess it must be weight reduction from all of the fiberglass and carbon, and removal of stuff like headlight motors, ka24e, and its heavy ass auto tranny... i'm about to trim about a 1/2" or 1/4" off each end off the coil, just until i can find some used coilovers on ebay... ;) or in f/s for that matter

yea thats my problem, the fiberglass front,. smaller motor, suspension is sitting like a truck... The CA sits almost totaly behind the front axils, I have no AC fenders are fiberglass and the CA is lighter then the KA as it is... even with my drop installed later 2.2" Eibachs i'll have 2" wheel gap

mine sits about 5 inches in the front, its really horrible. thats what i get for going for A/T to M/T, removing the AC and leaving the front on jack stands for a month.

after going At to MT and doing a FMIC (removing bumper support) and doing the sr20det swap my front gained atleast 2.5 inches. looks horrible now, and handles even worse. on acceleration the car looks and feels totally ridiculous, like it wants to take off.
