Hey guys I was just wondering is anyone running Driftworks hubs and PBM subframe risers?

I am having some trouble. I also have PBM coilovers and the rears set as tall as they can safely go are just way to low.. with the car on stands still the tire is already tucked into the fender well almost to the rim!! its ridiculous
Bn sport blister kit with 18x10's and 225/40 tires just if anybody wanted to know..
Any thoughts??

you have the lower section of the coilover threaded down as far as it safely can go?

burgessn · 07-11-2013, 12:22 PM

correct the coilovers are extended to there maximum length (about 3 threds left) and they are super low still. i know this is weird as most people want there 240 slammed but i actually want a lil ground clearance lol

G5SR20240 · 07-11-2013, 03:57 PM

you might just have a bad combo, those coilovers are giving you the ability to be slammed on stock uprights, could be too much

How much camber are you running in the rear?

Post up some freakin pics

You need to use s14 shock. Go on the pbm site and order 2 replacement shocks for the S14 rear. They are a extra few inches longer so you can safely raise your car back up.

burgessn · 07-12-2013, 09:16 AM

i am running zero camber in the rear.

i will post a pic this weekend

and i will look into the s14 shock option. i thought about this before but i was un sure if it would be to much longer..
thanks everybody for the good info

burgessn · 07-12-2013, 09:33 AM

damn 200 bucks for these. thats not bad for new shocks but it is if you get them and they dont work lol....

From my understanding of the rear drop knuckles the suspension pickups are raised while the wheel bearing mounting points remain the same causing a false drop and restoreing factory loke suspension geometry. This would not cause the car to sit any lower but it will effect the angles of your suspension arms

You have it backwards. The hub mounts/ spindles are pushed up in the knuckle. This drops your car however far the hub was raised, from it's current height. So Driftworks Drop the car 45mm front and rear.
