Hi Guys,

Last month I got a reputable workshop to install pineapples for me. Everything was fine, just tonight while I was taking off the wheels to lower the car i noticed that one of the pineapples is split. I have attached a picture.

I just have a few questions:

1. Is this normal? Is it fine to leave like that? Is it doing any damage to the car if I leave it like that for a while?

2. Is it my bad luck that it is split? Or can i get say Whiteline suspension to replace/refund? Or does it mean it was not installed properly and the workshop may replace it for me?

Appreciate any comments!

I'm pretty sure they come split from the factory, buutt that looks like it was installed possibly wrong. It looks as tho it has maybe squashed out a tiny bit, is it overhanging much over the edge of the subframe?

Yeah not sure if there split from factory. I compared it to the one installed on the right hand side of the car and there was no split and seemed a bit 'tighter'. Unless the split is facing the front of the car so I can't see it?

In any case i've email the place where it was installed so i'll see what they say.

Cheers!

For anyone that needs to know I got my answer so FYI i have been told:

"Pineapple bushes are meant to have a split in them for the uppers, and you will be correct the other one will be facing away from you"

Thanks Anyways :ermm:

    • Nah, don't bother doing any actual measurements on the car. Just go ask the inter-f**king-net.
    • I currently have 18 x 9 +30 on the front with 18 x 10.5 +38 on the rear. Absolutely regretted it. Ended up putting 15 mm spacers on front and 25 mm spacers on the rear. Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers. Definitely would go more aggressive then what you were originally planning. Keep in mind my guards are rolled and cars fair low so you might possibly need to roll guards depending how aggressive you go and how low the car is. Im not an expert but the 18 x 8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30 Sounds like it would sit much better.
    • Hey guys, sorry i have been researching for a few months and absolutely cannot wrap my head around this. I am about to order some rims to fit my R34 Gtt with coilovers My original plan was to order Rota grid R in 18x8.5 +30 235 40 R18 Fronts 18x9.5 +35 255 35 r18 rears But then the thought in my head said this isnt aggressive enough. I want the most concave spokes i can get without too much of poke and scrubbing   So my thoughts now is  18x8.5 +25 18x9.5 +30   My question is will this be the most aggressive i could get it without any guard rolling and does the type of rim style affect the offset / size.   Thanks everyone.
    • Lower parts are there. On passenger seat, bright yellow bit is the release mount. On drivers, bright yellow bit is the lower buckle for the other side. My bet is lowers are tucked out of the way as much as possible for visuals.
    • I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.
