are those R34 wheels?

also do any of u guys with a 3 inch drop ever bottom out? im worried about the oil pan or my ABS stillen lookalike front lip cracking from being to low..(damn I wish I can find a Stillen lip). I had a 94 Altima that was so low I screwd up the oil pan and downpipe when I had the car.

Ive been debating if I should lower my car even more on my Cattman's

Just seeing if u guys bottom out or not will make my ultimate decsion. thanks

I believe the 16s from our 5 gen. A few of the SE's (Earlier versions) came with them. Unfortunately I'm one of the ones that have them. This is why I'm in search of some stock SE 17s.

word andrew.....
yeah i was thinkgin about s techs, because iam only 17yrs old, and i know that if i go with maxspeed springs (which i have rite now, not on tho), in couple months, i'll be like, damm i want it to be lower, and than i would have to spend another 160 bucks for stechs.....so, if iam going to drop my car rite now, i might as well do it the rite way first time....
thanks

I rub slightly when making u-turns like you also said, and slightly in the rear over large bumps. That's why I'm not dropped any lower than I am. I wanted to go with 35 series tires but the roads in Toronto are horrible lately.

S-Techs and Illuminas. Now on 255/40/17 on OEM rims, no rubbing issues at all, smooth ride...Proper tires is key for this setup, but then again I'm not going aftermarket rims. Just Stillen kit and thats it.

damn...255s are madd wide for the 7.0in OEM rim...how much have those S-Techs settled? It looks like you are riding more than the 2.2in of drop in the front?

It only looks like that because of the shadow in the pics...But I think its a nice drop. I thought 255's were very wide myself. But they suit them nicely, will post pics on another thread once the weather clears up.

I have now H&R's but got S-techs sitting in room waiting for the Ill's. Coilovers are sweet but not needed for me. MN roads are not that bad in some area's But I did bend to of my 19's last year downtown hitting a huge pothole in front of the stripclub.
