I do it because my car with a 4" drop looks better than it would with a 2"-3" drop. Simple as that. I dont mind swapping out suspension components because I do it myself and it's not that hard to.

 

Yea, like the fat b1tches.
Sorry, couldn't help it.

 

hehehe was thinking about something similar regarding for whom the EDFC is most beneficial too... i keed, i keed!

 

Yeah no doubt I love your stance man. We each have our own styles, and if it were reasonable for me to go much lower, I would too. Unfortunately for me it's no longer resonable, costs are too high and I have a little dude to take care of, my free time no longer exists, I need reliable mods (or reasonably reliable).

Quite a few would say that even I'm too low, but I'm fairly comfortable with the suspension geometry. That and without spacers, a tire swap and/or a pull I can't drop much more anyhow, at least in the back where I need it most. Otherwise I probably would
Well.... I probably will actually Once I get tires for it, SOO EXPENSIVE!!!


I think it's sitting pretty conservative:

 

ur 19s look much bigger than my 19s for some reason. I wonder whether we have different wheelbase dimensions

 

No it's just because the Rays spokes dip in well before the bead. And the G37's spokes extend past the bead. The actual outer dimension on my rims is closer to 23.5"

Rim dimension is bead to bead, this is why the actual 'rim size' can be so deceiving depending on spoke style. Also why 18" rims with a dish, or volk-style, look more like 16-17" rims at a glance.

I'd still take those Rays over my Enkei's, wanna trade? Mine are wider

 

ok so i guess no need for reserch teins/bc's/megans/k sports in that order. corect me if im wrong. lol one time he had 3 of them suckers shoved in there....lol

 

Your car looks perfect at that height. I wouldn't touch it. If I had another set of wheels i wouldn't be this low. Lol.

 

Oh, hi! That would be me.

But those Enkei rims off the G37S Coupe are beautiful, and look fantastic on your AE. Don't change a thing.

Fantastic setting for that picture, btw. Shame about the quality, though.

 

I have to install my QT link. I'm rubbing pretty bad on the back end passenger side. +25 17x8's with 245's don't leave a lot of room.

 

LOL, and thanks man. Yes I was very disappointed that the picture didn't turn out would have been a nice shot. I don't know why it went fuzzy, I took two pics and they both turned out that way. Oh well, the car was filthy anyways.

So where are you sitting, any updates on the ride, and settings?

 

I love the ride, but I wish I had about 10mm rubber urethane isolator on the front springs.

Center of wheel to fender is 13-3/4" all 4 wheels give or take 4 days of settling in. I may have to increase the setting on the rears. At 7 clicks, going to try 4

 

Hey how many clicks do your dampers actually make? Mine are like 27 or something silly like that, even though they're supposed to be 16 way.....

Currently I'm about 10/27, with 0 being Full stiffness. I carry consistant weight in the trunk/back so my settings are equal all around.

 

So are tein the only coilover that have the unit to control setting from the inside... if it is then i'm just goin with teins

 

The teins are only supposed to go to -16, the counter clockwise settings at more than -16 are for the service technicians. 0 is stiffest so I am at -7 front and -7 back I think

You should dial your rears 10 clicks clockwise to go to -16. man that is soft.

 

That I'm aware of for our cars, yes. The next closest is a remote-mount for the rear adjusters that BC makes. But it's not electronic control.

Oh, well I feel dumb. I'm glad I asked! But what are the service technician settings, does anyone know? Do they make a difference or could they cause issues?

I'm dialed in pretty stiff, can't remember the exact amout. I think I cranked it down and went back to -5ish. I will have to check now that I know about the -16+ settings not being part of the equation.

Seems strange to me that they would do that, does it say that in the manual or something? I got mine used.

 

The tein manual says you may damage the internals if you go past 16.

Go to tein.com click on model/price, Nissan, then click on the photo icon for the a33. Then scroll down and download the instructions

 

I think they reduce the pressure for the technician tearing them down

 

^cool good to know. I never set them more than -16 anyways, even around -12ish they were still too soft.

I just ran them through all the 'clicks' to check them so I was sure I adjusted them evenly, and had a baseline for settings. Thanks Knight!
