I have BC's and they go pretty low

heres a link, mine is the white 33 down the page

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/84208-wheel-sizes-offsets-for-skylines/page-123

Looks great man! Awesome height! How do you find the handling on the BC's?

I really don't think your car needs lowering. It looks good as it is.

Are you talking about the rear being too high in terms of wheel gap or rear bumper off the ground. Cause i'd suggest, as others have, just getting a lip and rear pods.

Haha thanks man, i meant the wheel gap, gonna experiment with a front lip and pods and see how I go before changing coilys. Thanks mate!

Lol, as if you're worried about handling at that ride height...

Dude relax, you seem to be taking this topic so personally. The OP has heard what you've got to say and obviously disagrees, why is that a problem?

OP, if you want to lower your car to such an extreme then go for it. Just be aware (as I'm sure you are by now) that what the other guys are saying is correct, it becomes a pain in the ass to drive and lowering the car so much will affect the way the car handles in a negative way. I have got BC's, and I have had my car at a height close to R377's 33 for a couple of years. Not because I don't find it fkn annoying, but because I don't drive the car enough to be assed raising it back up. I've smashed my bumper so many times I've lost count, I'm just lucky that I know how to fibreglass and spray paint. I've also damaged my fenders and tyres from coming off the track and grabbing rubber, that's not so easy/cheap to fix. Every time I park my car, I try to park somewhere where I can turn left, because turning right scrubs my tyre on the inner guard lining. It's horrible and annoying and embarrassing and I hate it. I'll be rectifying it soon.

All in all, my advice to you is to not do it. You've got some nice suspension in there, and the car is already at a nice height, it looks good! It wouldn't be worth trading that just for a bit less height. But, if you want to do it then do it. BC's will get you there, and more. They handle well for what they are, but they aint no Tein's.

If you're referring practicality to the stance trend though, I'm afraid you know nothing buddy.

You dont go belly to the ground and expect to corner awesomely! How are race cars set up? They dont tuck rim.

You either want looooowwwww or you want perfect height for twisties. Yes there is a happy medium but what you are asking is ludicrous

Took that all in,everything that you say makes sense, gonna listen to you guys and stick to the teins i think haha. Plus doing a bit of research has lead me to a gtt lip that i really want, more low=bad for front lip.

Handling all the way <3

Thankyou for that buddy!

I was referring solely to the fact that low cars aren't meant to be practical, in response to people saying it wouldn't be good for a daily driver. Has nothing to do with handling.

In other words, if OP wants a low car, I'm pretty sure he realises it will be shit to get around in.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
