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

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
