hooray car is lowered!

I think its down to 340mm

Worried about the front as i have a feeling they might hit the lip if i turn wheel and hit a bump.. ^^,

Now i need to fit on the typeM skits/rear pods + spoiler and it will be all good :P

rolling i can deal with, but not really keen on flarring..

Can you post a pic of a closer look at the flarring?

Also how low is your car from centre to wheel arch?

I think my shocks will drop the height to 340mm and hope i wont need to flare..

Thanks

oi i rekon those URAS's were perfect offset and size for the rear, looks real tough, u can either play around with the rear camber to slip them under or get the guards rolled, although i have to say, i didnt have any issues with mine before i rolled my gaurds, im running around -1 degree of camber. u definitely wont need flaring.

this is mine when i had those wheels before Rekin (17x8/9 +30):

now with some modenas which are soon to be sold aswell (17x8.5/9.5 +45/+38, fronts with 25mm spacers):

next on my list will be something around the 17x9 +20 mark which will sit out another 10mm at the rear from both of those rear wheels and a few mm further than where those fronts are sitting in the 2nd pic.

340mm is best height for r32 in terms of handling. Refer to sydneykid's posts etc for detailed information :whistling:
yep spot on, mine in those pics is the recommended height, using SK's GB kit.

yep I got SK's whiteline set up too

Just took car for drive, mine are scrubbing bad at front.

Any dips in the road and then you hear a creeking noise coming from the fronts.

Not sure if its scrubbing or perhaps the springs/shocks? as it seems to only come from the front right?

Guess its rolling lip on the weekend ~_~

Bummer dude, take the front wheels off and see if there is any damage on the tyres or body both inner and outer, i know that on a certian amount of lock my wheels touch the side skirts, on full they just tap the inner metals and over crazy massive bumps they might just tap the plastic under the guard... but ive got crazy stiff coilovers :(

Hey Rekin, I think your problem could be something to do with your shocks mate. Did you purchase second hand shocks and springs or new?

2nd hand kyb shocks with 2nd hand hks springs.

Perhaps i should get a suspension check done at Pedders?

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
