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

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
