altezzaclub Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Not a fan of those black wheels, they always scream "crazed P-plater" to the cops... What did you do about lowering it in the end?? I figure fitting the flares off that silver KE would make it look lower even at stock ride height. I told the girl to use the same excuse if she was ever stopped, 'the modifications are for fuel economy and not power...' and it does keep up with the traffic now!

The lip on the wheels when chrome had a fair bit of surface rust so I sanded them back but never buffed them up so yeah, out came the black paint. They don't attract to much attention though which is nice Haven't got around to low yet! I don't quite understand the flares part? They can't complain, I know some friends who have silvias and skylines with exhausts and other mods, they never get pulled over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollajones Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Time for a quick update off the mobile Pictures will be up tomorrow So, It is low. Finally. Yes I'm a fool, I cut the springs but most of you cats would have done it at 17 to :P Only 1 coil off front and 1.5 off back so still holding captive. Fittment with the 15X7 or 7.5 (can't remember width) is great I have rolled the guards (ghetto pole haha) but it works a treat Touched up all the little paint chips. Manual coverstion is on the cards at some point soon! Had some thoughts going through my head to sell this but they've gone, thank god!

Jono.C Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Chopped springs *can possibly* be alright, As long as you run shorter shocks to keep the captive. They're no worse than buying shorter springs and not changing the shocks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesn't feel that bad and as far as I know they seem to be staying captive (obviously not like stock) but no crazy noises over bumps and dips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollajones Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 So after stuffing my wrist skateboarding and just killing my battery by leaving my lights on, this week hasn't been very good! But on the positive I should be picking up my manual conversion tomorrow night then should be fitting it with in the next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
