I'm just after a bit of advice with suspension, tyres, guard work etc.

*Rims are 18x9 +30 all round, with 235/40 front and 265/35 rear.

*Suspension is Tein Super Street, 4kg all round.

*Rear guards have the lips rolled, fronts are not done (yet) and have only the upper guard liner remaining

I'm finding that I'm getting a bit of scrubbing on the front, whilst leaning through some corners and turning corners that are downhill/off camber. Basically i'm looking to have no wheel arch gap if possible with this setup, and not have heaps of scrubbing (i can put up with a bit during U turns and the like)

Obviously rolling the front guards is on my to do list - will this fix everything at a height of say 330mm tyre to guard with a 235/40 tyre? Do i need harder springs? I'm also looking to upgrade the swaybar, how much body roll will one of these eliminate?

As for the back, I'm assuming I will have a bit more room (haven't put the rear coilovers in yet). I'm also looking for a similar height. Can i still run the 265 tyre at this height with just rolled guards? I'm willing to go back down to 235 if need be.

Thanks guys :)

265 is a big tyre for a 9" rim you wont need it. rears will fit piss easy though fronts just roll and remove lining if need be could be cos suspension is so soft im on 8/6 and front rubs although its pretty low.

roll should fix all your problemo's :thumbsup:

Ok cheers guys, will get the fronts rolled and all guard liners removed. If it keeps happening i might upgrade the springs to 6kg or something.

I'll see how the rear goes, hopefully when it cambers in it shouldn't rub. Next tyres will be 235, the 265s were way too expensive

This is where the fronts are at now... is this low enough? Could I get away with lower?

Car is not a 'daily' as such but it is my only car, and does like to get driven reasonably hard now and then so not looking for epic lows

BUMP

Just chasing some 6kg Tein springs to replace the 4kg fronts on my super streets, which i can source easily enough, however i need to know the exact dimensions etc. I had a look at my current springs just now and could only see CO40 IJC written on them, this doesn't match up with Tein's part numbers however :(

Does anyone have another part number for 4kg super street springs?

This is the site I will be using to order new ones http://www.tein.co.jp/e/price_list/standaridized_springs.html

Thanks :)

just buy springs locally. King Springs or whatever. All you need is the measurements. Will most likely be 65mm ID, then all you need to know is the free length.

Kings work in lb-in though. 6kg = 335lb. Kings will have 325 or 350lb.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
