HKS Suspension update "JIC camber rod pics"
 

Not sure if anyone has posted pics / info of the JIC camber rods so here yah go. I have been wanting to take the HKS Hypermax down to almost its max drop. Problem being when I did this my rear camber was -2.0 . So I had to wait on the JIC rear camber adjustment kit. Now that the rods are installed I had the suspension brought down to just a hair above the wheels. I was able to correct the camber back to -1.38.

The construction of the rods are great I got a pic below. Much nicer than the stockers. The car feels a bit tighter in the rear during light and heavy cornering. I was very surprised by the HKS after lowering the car as far as I did. It retained all of the ride quality that I had before. I have been VERY happy with this suspension. It continues to surprise me. Im surprised more people are not using it.

Sorry if there are too many pics I went a bit overboard with the camera today:)

Looks great! Why did you take those stickers off the TEs? The merc silver TEs come with black lettering. Did you end up rolling the rear fender due to the +22 offsets?

What is the max drop on those? Do those pictures represent the maximum because its not overly low.....only a hair more then the eibachs. I wanted the HKS and have been saving, but if thats the max, I may just go with springs. I know it sounds silly to want to lower more then that, but its looks good at shows ;)

What did you pay out the door for them anywho?

Thanks

I still had about 1/8" in the rear and 1/4" in the front left. I did not want the tires to tuck so I stopped where I did. Also with the ride height where it is I was able to avoid rolling the fenders. And avoid rolling my bumper off the front of the car on speed bumps.

My stickers were blue. I dont care for stickers on my car. But on some cars the stickers look good. Just my preference.

Ok, makes sense. But what do the HKS allow is what I am asking. 1.5", 2" , 3" of drop? I honestly dont know :)

My old car had 4" of adjustability with coilovers and it looks (just by the pics) that the HKS has about 1.5"

ALL LOOKS GREAT!
 

How do you like the Toyo tires?

I'm thinking about putting them on the 18" Forged Rays I just bought. How's the feel, handling, and noise?
Is the cornering break-away predictable?

i think his rims are flat silver, not mercury silver, so they come with blue lettering...and you only need to roll the fenders in the rear if you go with the 10.5" rears, his are 9.5".

Hey Roman, how much did those camber rods run ya??

...yeah, me too :D

They cost about $490

2"

where did you get those camber rods?

Yeah 490 isnt to shabby, im intrested to know where they are from also. There is also a company that makes rear camber kits for the Z for 360...... they are in australia. http://www.k-mac.com.au/makes/nissan.htm anyone purchase from these guys yet?

How in the world to they SLAM the Zs at the car shows then if its 2" with coilovers ?

:confused:

I ordered these from Stillen. Im sure some coilovers will give you 3" just not these.
