I think i only scrapped the very edge of the stillen exhaust tip like twice in 2 years, so i wouldn't worry about it much. The stillen exhaust with the newer tips look really nice too.

 

Does your Nismo kit lower the car as much as my Eibach Pro Kit?

 

ZRAYGO,

Is that your white Z you keep showing in the signature? I only ask because you mention Volk GTC's, but those look like SF Winnings on the car.

It looks great regardless...

I was wondering if those rims on that car were

8.5f
9.5r

or

9.5f
10.5r

and which ever they are, what are your offsets front and back?

I'm curious because I just ordered those rims in
8.5f __+25
10.5r _+29

Thanks

 

sundevil,

i think they are pretty close. The nismo's are 20mm drop, which i think is almost 3/4in and the eibachs were close to an inch too. My car settled some more and looks a little lower than when i first put the springs on, but not much, but i doubt your car will scrape much too unless you carry a lot of stuff in the car.

 

Well,
Thats it - I am totally fed up with my Eibach Pro springs. I am having them removed this weekend in favor of my stock springs. I just wish I would have known how bad they were before I spent the money on buying them and having htem installed. I now need body work on my front end and have done an unknown amount of damage to my undercarriage. I scrape on every sharp incline and every time there is one of those things that flattens your tires if you back up over it. There is no way I would have been able to install an aftermarket exhaust like the Stillen and not ruin it. It is a shame because it won't look as good with my 19" rims, but I don't know what else to do. Is this a common problem? How do y'all with lowered Zs drive them like that without scraping all the time?

Wow, sorry to hear you're having so much trouble. 1 inch really isn't that much when you lower a car, the eibachs are really usually well engineered for performance as well as rider comfort.
There must be a lot of steep driveways and speedbumps in your area. Hit the speedbumps on an angle, even steep driveways i go down on an angle and that helps me not to scrape.

 

Yeah, the biggest problem is the steep inclines. I go over them sideways, but there is one in my work parking garage that gets me every time. I also find myself scraping the front end on curbs all the time. The car doesn't handle much better with the springs and I just decided it isn't worth it. I will hate the space in the wheel well and I am sorry I wasted so much cash, but what're you gonna do.

 

check out the tein s tech. just installed them and it's pretty good. although i do scrape while going over big speed bumps, going across i don't. it lowers about .6 - .7 which is good enough to remove the wheel gap. hth

 

Thanks for the tip - but I think I am going to stick with the stock springs. I am too worried about ruining the Stillen Exhaust I am about to install, and I don't want to do any more damage to my front end. I just got my rims mounted last night and I already scraped one of them on a curb. I just have rotten luck and can be careless sometimes, so a lowered car just isn't for me!

 

Don't you just hate when you scrape a curb with a freaking rim that costs over 600 bucks each. I hit a bump in the road and the rear rim scraped the edge of this huge asphalt bump and took a gauge out the very edge. You just can't keep the car perfect. I just got a freaking door ding too, looks pretty damn deep and deliberate. So now i'm thinking body kit. Might as well spruce it up if i have to repaint some parts anyway.

 

So..........................How much are you gonna sell those springs for?

ok before I bid I have a few questions if you guys dont mind? I just added 18.5 all the way around my touring with 255-45-18 tires I to feel my ride hight is to high now and there is to much of a gap. I am planing on a bodykit next month so "if" I add these springs will that bring my car to low with the bodykit ? or will the bodykit give me the look I am seaking without the springs?

 

sorry 30mm rear and 40mm front off set if that helps.

 

Without the springs you will still have the wheelgap, if that's the look you're talking about.
