Paul i dont think your the best person to judge it cos your suspension is so hard - that its normal to you ...... need someone with more stock like mine i think - i just know what the car is like and i appreciate that its been lowered and stuff .... but it was nowhere near like that before - i can even pinpoint the day where it changed to the way it is now.

nah tried that - on my old tyres anyway.

I would take it to a suspension shop and ask them what they think but a girl going into a shop and saying theres something wrong with her car but doesnt know what it is tends to put dollar signs in their eyes!

paul the surface u had it on didnt give me a chance to priove my point that stretch of roe hwy is a newly surfaced flat road ..... u try taking it to one of country runs ;) its no fun cos the car is bouncing like crazy vibrating .... not to mention the state of my brakes at the mo. I cant push it cos its just not safe.

my friends that i shared house with (Jodi and Rachael) would drop their cars to this mechanic they thought was ripping them off. so id pretend to be hubby and pick the car up. there was always a 'problem with the computer' when i asked for the bill. i think they were making a blokes version of teh bill!

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
