Brisbane front bar heights?

[blx]

I am just curious as to the heights of your front bars and wether or not you have any trouble with speed bumps, shitty roads etc?

I am looking to buy a certain skyline, Just that it has a 400R front bar on it plus lowered and it isn't very high of the ground.

Cheers

if its lower than that you'll quickly **** it.. 100mm is legal also.

A friend of ours had an mspec front bar, then swapped it for a 400R front bar, then wanted my mspec bar because he hated the 400R.

I personally don't like the look of a skyline with just a 400R front bar. The bar is lower than the rest of the car and looks yucky.

My 2 cents

400R bar is awesome it was designed by Nismo Specifically for the R33

I love mine, although i have a new one now.. 400r again

You need to have sideskirts with it otherwise it does look too chunky on the front

If its mounted properly its not TOO low, however you do need to be carefull on just about every driveway

It is lower than most, but thats what comes with the bar and its looks

The GTR style bar on my GTST is about 140mm from the ground. Its not too bad as long as you are careful. I crunched it pretty bad a few months ago but that had nothing to do with the height. Opps!

The Stock GTR is currently 200mm off the ground. Have to do something about that!

200mm ? discraceful! you could drive a truck under there!

mine is 6cm off the ground. its hopless, it hits and buckles on anything. the lower front lip has fallin off 4 times and now its so bad that i need to replace the whole front bar. *SHAKES FIST IN AIR*

Yeah, mines pretty low too.

Just beware of underground or multi story carparks.

At least with an evil speed bump you can back up and go over at an angle or even turn around.

Not so in a carpark thats only one lane wide, with 10 cars stuck up your ass.

Oh and avoid that dirt carpark behind the Regatta. it has potholes that'll tear your bonnet off!

hahaha, yeah i found out about the reggatta car park the hard way.

My front bar is 110mm, but the problem is that my front bar is so much longer than most, it cops a hiding just driving down a bumpy road, its stupid, simple answer is that if u want a low car, cracks and scrapes are inevitable.

My one is at factory height...but living in the bush takes it's toll, our driveway is a shocker and you get lots of dead native wildlife that can easily bugger the bar if you scalp them

I got a 400R bar on my skyline as well. Not only is it sit a little to low, it also sits forward a bit more than a lot of other bars making slightly steep driveways / gutters etc a bit of an issue also.

The skyline still sits at standard hight, so i will be replacing the bar before i drop it.

leigh.

When i bought my car with the 400r front bar allready on it, it was 70 ****ing mm off the ground! When i went crusing for the first week through most of the ' lap ' spots i could not drive over the speed bumps, i could not drive into certain drive ways, i could not drive into my own driveway, i could not get into servo's or bloody anywhere. After cracking the shits and the bar a few times i got the springs done and raised to 110mm, which still i have to go up certain speed bumps and driveways on angles, which sucks big time, but most things are allright, you just have to go up slow, then it's all good. I would suggest about a 130mm ride hite, it's still pretty damn low but you should be able to navigate most things straght onwards, this is with 18's aswell. I also believe that you need some sort of bigger side kirts otherwise the bar does tend to make the car look big at the front with the stock skirts, nismo side skirts are good and look the part. Overall the 400r bar is awsome, it gives the whole of the car a much more aggresive look, it almost looks evil. Get it!

I gave my Bomex front bar a good crack when i misjudged the distance to a kerb at uni. It's the worst feeling in the world. What made it worse is that the bar is still around legal height, n bumps and anything else are no problem. Sometimes the fact that an aftermarket bar juts out a little bit more than usual can get u into trouble too. The bar is now actually cracked, but not where u can see it...just underneath. sux!
