I would like to find out who has the lowest/slammed "static" ie coilovers V35 coupe or sedan. So how i rekon a good way to measure is not on how low is the lowest point but something else. So find the middle pf your front wheel arch up the top and measure from that to the ground.

Honest answers to, with no one in the car or anything like that. K go

i assume you're limiting this to australia; if so I'm pretty sure this will be the winner.

It's on bags - but in terms of 'how low can you go' - this is how low.

In terms of how low you can go and keep your sanity - i reckon the answer is 'NOT VERY' - i'm on H-tech's - which are about 15mm lower than stock - I've got 120mm of clearance at the flex pipes on the exhaust and I still catch the exhaust on a few car park humps. Stupid long wheel base means these things suck to drive low.

Hey Mat, you know that's for sale? It's still on CarSales, i think he's asking about 50k and my god it's tidy!

But in terms of low, i'm on Eibach Pro Kits 1.1'' drop front and back and it's plenty low enough for me, every driveway has to be taken on a crazy angle and i've got to be much more careful than i was at stock height.

120mm.....come on im talking low really low not 15mm lower than factory height.

Howanainto - I know i'm not low. Just pointing out that these cars are terrible for lowering - while they look great low, from a daily driver perpective I'd rather preseve my $2k exhaust than get rep points from the hellaflush crowd......I wish I could afford bags.

Seano - yeh I had seen that for sale. It looks bewdiful!

This one is pretty low:

This is how low mine was before i took it off the road, also on 19's.

Drove it everyday like this for about a year or so.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
