About to order some bc's for my stag, sick of shitty slammed springs making me bottom out practically every day. I do like a fang but my 180s for that, do you guys recon 12 kg's all round I like what zei said hahah

12kg's are fine for the front.....12kg's are a too hard for the rear imo.....but then again I'm try to get a lot more power to the ground than stock.....I'm running 9.3kg's in the rear atm and it's very snappy in the wet........12's in the rear would be a little bumpy as well.

In between 8-10kg's would be fine in the rear....if you want to play around with it more get a good adjustable rear sway bar.

What springs you got? I wana bottom out.... :(

I'm still trying to research what's the best suspension to use to go low. BC are cheap and go low, but how low? Then there's StanceWorks ZeroClearance coilovers for the 350Z which are built to go low not for performance, but they're a little more pricey.

the BCs can go low. VERY low. check out my display pic, that was the height they came out of the box, looked awesome, but impractical. there was plenty of thread left to go lower, and also higher, which is where i went lol

So what's a practical yet low height (in mm/cm) for our cars?

in your avator pic - is that 10cm off the groung?

nope its more like 8cm off the ground lol

mine is a practical low height where its at now. but the back needs to come down a little, to pull the front bar up slightly as its a tiny bit too low

So how high is it off the ground now?

Where yours sits is where I want mine, possible lower... My chassis will have to grow balls of steel for the speed bumps into my workshop!

HAHahhaahha... I'd really like to see how low your car is going to be and how much damage you are going to do to the underside. :blink:

one braces the bottom rear of the rear subframe. another between the rails just in front of the rear sway bar, and another at the front binding the two black bar things that bolt to the bottom of the front suspension behind the rack.

they all sit higher than the lowest parts of my car - stupid factory mid muffler the size of my house

This one's on SilkRoad's. Top arms hit body, can just fit a match-box between the ground and one of the arms.

I intend to get a new exhaust made up to sit a bit higher, build a sump-guard and modify the rear setup so everything sits a bit higher, so I can drop it lower.

If only there was a sway bar group buy going at the moment... :whistling:

What handling? TBH, on the road the Stagea is always going to be a big wagon... for the moment when I want handling I have the RX7, my Stagea will be my impractical daily driver that shouldn't be a daily driver, until it gets ripped up. :D

lol fair enough!

being that low all your arms are at the wrong angle and having no travel left in the suspension means the ride would be harsh!

anyway, like i said, looks the goods. i still love the pearl white in the M35........ should have bought the RS aero in pearl white that i looked at

Yeh, i'm regretting not taking the time to check out other Stagea's before I got my one.

I had jsut sold my Forester and wanted a new car, and dad(importer) had just bought this one in, took it for a drive, and instantly fell in love. The modern tidy interior, the standard handling, the sound, etc..

If I had of known the turbo one's were so easily available, or the manual ones were out there, I would of tracked one of them down... Now i'm stuck with the poor-spec.. Oh well, it's kind of motivation to do something radical to it, knowing I cant make it any slower than it is now haha

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
