I put my Roja's on recently and now I have this ugly wheel gap
I need to do something about this. Any advice on how much to lower and what spings to get? I was originally going lowering 1 inch, but I'm starting to think I should go a little more. Any quality adjustable springs? I've been doing some research but I'm still pretty confused. Coilovers were my first thought for suspension upgrades but I'm not looking for an uncomfortable ride. I want a cruiser with track capability, I have many other mods in mind as well (OEM Brembo's!) but first things first, I need to get this ***** on the ground.

Thanks for your advice guys, your opinions are appreciated.






YUK!

 

get a full coilover with dampening adjustability to get the stiffness or softness you want. Drop the rear 1.5"/front 1"

 

Can you recommend a brand to look at or are most the same?
Are coilovers a DIY job or does it need to be taken to a shop to be installed?
Am I going to need to adjust the camber for 1.5"?

T2 Nismos ftw.

I'll post pictures on saturday after I get my wheels/tires back on.

 

I hope you have revalved Konis to go with those

 

Tein, Tanabe, D2, Megan, Nex=all decent coilovers for under $1200.
Coilovers can be a DIY job, and can save the $200 on the install. There should be DIY installation step by step & pics in the DIY forum.
Yes, you're gonna need an alignment kit for the 1.5" drop.

 

You're the man black06z, thanks for the replies

 

tanabe!

great wheels...i have the same!

 

did u ever lower this car??? and curious what size and offset wheels you did...thanks!

 

it really looks like he put the car down off the jackstands and didn't drive it yet...there's no way the gap is really that big once the suspension settles down

 

wrong size rear tires????? The gap looks huge!!!!

 

That looks so wrong!!!! I just noticed he's not on level ground. lol

 

275/30/19's in the rear?

 

pick up some stance basic coilovers from enjuku racing or teh Stange GR+ for 1100


929 + free shipping cant beat that price or quality

 

tanabe's

We suggest you give BC Racing a try as well. They have been OE'ing coilovers for many of the brands listed above for quite some time. We actually run them on many of our own cars (3 years on your S13 without any problems) and absolutely love them. I know MDRacer76 will be writing a review on them next week. I am sure everyone will be surprised by just how good they are.

 

Nice wheels Steve, a drop will def. give you the look that you want!

Yup.. Noah's right.. I'm changing things up a little Ordered the BC Racing Coilovers and will be installing them very soon!

I initially went with just lowering springs. They 'look' great, but I feel like I am missing out on some extra handling on my track days. I alo dont want to get 'beat-up' by my suspension on the street. I can't wait to get them and install them. Will def. let you guys know how they feel!
