How low can you go v. 2.1 - S/Z-chassis only - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

**mrmephistopheles** · 02-23-2006, 02:42 AM

My shitty 180sx.
Lowered on mystery coilovers. Got about 2" more (easily) in the front, probably 4" more in the rear. I need to lower the rear down because it looks like a retarded dragster.

Since I keep getting PMs about the wheels - I'm pretty sure the manufacturer is AME, model is Circlar III.
They're 17x8 +32 and 17x9 +38, but I have a 25mm bolton spacer in front and 10mm of sandwich in rear, so it's effectively 17x8 +7 and 17x9 +28. Having the 20mm overfenders in front kinda blows for these wheels, but oh well.

Test fitting 'new' TBO rear valence and TBO sides that I sold.

lol !! i need coilovers bad.

I've got some higher tires since that pic was taken. Went from 225/35/18 to 225/40/18, wow ha ha.

It's lowered on some Apex springs, about 4cm i reckon.

Might be buying one of those cheap Megan sets in the future.

TurDz · 02-23-2006, 03:18 AM

I really like how the wheels look and how the gold actually compliments the red.

Your front drop is perfect, exactly my taste. Don't take the rear lower than the arch of the sidewall of the tires

chmercer · 02-23-2006, 11:05 AM

yeah oops, didnt see this one, can merge or erase mine

actually kevin your shitty 180sx(in your own words) looks pretty good in my book. Your wheels are a little sunken, get some spacers mang. Otherwise it looks like what it is, a real driven on the street car. Man those TBO rear valences are exactly what the doctored ordered. Why did you sell them?

P.S. Love the boro they are real.

what is the point of labelling the thread s/z chassis only.

Bryants95240sx · 02-23-2006, 01:03 PM

How about because that way people can compare what is possible on cars related to this site? maybe some civic can get lower... so what? that doesn' apply to us. S13's can only go so low before losing usable suspension travel. There's a good reason right there. It's only useful comparing apples to apples.

What's with the nitpicking? If that's the case, then:

What was the point of you making another "how low can you go" thread this morning when this was already here?
Little voice in your head trying to convince you that your thread was better somehow, and now you have to try and criticize this one to somehow compensate for your oversight?

ooohhh ya, I guess i should stay on topic while I'm at it....
Roads in eastern WA SUCK. Pothole galore; some deep enough to bend a rim if you hit it just right.
Thus my car takes it's style from the most prevailent car manufacturer in my area: Subaru
Behold my rally car :P

dyswtric · 02-23-2006, 10:33 PM

how do you guys not destroy your front bumpers?

pic for good measure

DoriftoSlut · 02-24-2006, 12:58 AM

I *think* this car's low.
No, he's not understeering, its a right-hand turn (3rd gear left hander into full right hander circle, then left again to the main straight. This is at the end of the right hand circle, about to tansition left to go onto the main straight...)

Whoops missed this one.
They are sunken, but that's with a 25mm bolt-on in front and 10mm of sandwich in the rear. Gayass 17x8 +32 and 17x9 +38!
The valence I kept, it's the sideskirts that I sold. I've just got to repaint it before I can put it on.

man, ya I just laughed at your wifes comment. good job on keeping the valence if you ever come across another set of those. I would love to have them they are just perfect. HHHMM maybe I should put that on my wish list for Glenn.

midnite_180 · 02-25-2006, 06:52 AM

Nizzan4u2nv · 02-26-2006, 03:31 PM

Probably not gonna go any lower then that, I have a hard enough time getting up the driveway.

SoSideways · 02-26-2006, 03:45 PM

Damn dude, those SSR Professor SP1s are looking hot on that S14 that slammed.

What size/offset are those puppies? My car isn't that low, I need coilovers badly...

Its from aspec. It plugs right into the stock base model holder. With that one though, you need a longer stud, the one they provide doesnt reach all the way.
