9/7 too hard? I have 10/8 in my NM35 at the moment and it borderline too song for a sports wagon. Maybe upgrading the rear sway bar will help

I spoke with one of the Staff members at Redline Performance and he advised that I look into rolling my guards slightly. Might go up in spring rate slightly too. I'll start by taking off my wheel arches and seeing what I can do to give the wheel a bit more room to travel up and down in the wheel well.

Even if I could half the frequency that the two connect that would be great. The BCs that I had on my old Silvia were miles better and had a quater of the travel that these ones do in the rear. I guess they designed them so you can put a load in the back. I'd like to avoid camber if possible, I'm not a huge fan of the excessive caber look.

I recently test fitted my 19x8.5" 25p wheels with a 25mm spacer to try and see how aggressive I could go with my fitment (I bought a pair of 19x10.5" wheels that I'd like to put on the rear but I can see that it's going to be borderline). Measurement from the center of the hub to the arch is 337mm which is pretty spot on for the look that I am going for. However the suspension is far too slack (BC BR coilovers) in the rear and the tyre scrubs on the arch every time I turn a corner. I called the shop where I bought the coilovers from and they said that they can sell me firmer springs for the rear for NZD $125 which I thought wasn't too bad and my understanding is that a firmer spring rate in the rear would help limit body roll even more. My question for you guys; are there any aftermarket adjustable arms that I should be looking at to get a small amount of camber in the wheel so that I have at least some hope of fitting the 19x10.5" wheels when they arrive? I'm pretty noob when it comes to suspension, I just want to maximise handling while still having a semi- flush fitment.

They're off Although the tape residue is proving to be a paint to get off. Tried isopropyl alochol but don't want to going to anything too harsh as it's plastic.

I just bought BC BRs for my M35, haven't installed them yet though!

Sweet, cheers! I'm working my way through the threads. Was pretty gutted that I could only get a RWD model, but I chose for over function and went with the nicest looking one. Going to try and figure out how to remove the monsoon guards tomorrow. Would look so much cleaner without them.

Here's a cellphone pic of my Stag... Coilovers are on the way, getting wheels and tyres sorted. Anyone have any recommendations for mods? Shift kit/strut bars etc. Car is completely factory besides exhaust.

I know it has been forever; but I finally bought a PNM35! 2005 Autech Axis model, will post pics up soon

Seeing pics of the 20" R35GTR wheels on a stag makes me really wish I'd gone 20" with less profile. Instead I bought 19". M35s really do have massive guards to fill.

Honestly I not behind the stance crowd. IMO any degree of camber looks ridiculous. I just like it when the wheel is perfectly flush with the guard, if possible poking out a few millimeters, just enough that the wheel is visible from directly behind the car, but the tread of the tyre is still completely covered and there are no safety issues. Fitment like this is what I would like to achieve once I finally get my Stagea:

Here is a quick pic of the wheel beside a friend's stock FTO wheel. It's huuuge! Sorry about the quality, I didn't have my DSLR with my at the time.

I was watching a video of the Koenigsegg Agera and the tyre had a very similar figment to mine, so that makes me pleased with my decision.

I assume you are referring to me? Here is the link to the site I found. Supposedly they have found the absolute limit for the stock internals of a VQ35DE: http://sohomotorsports.com/products/vq35-turbo-kits/ Here is a pic of the Nitto Invo 245/35/19 on my 19x8.5" wheel. In hindsight I would rather have chosen the 235/35/19 because there is just the slightest bit of bulge in the tyre. I doubt they would swap the tyre around for the cost of fitting the tyre, so I think i'll just run 245s until I need to replace the entire set.
