paging mr. fitment...



thought you might like this one. this is how your fitment would look if it wasn't 4x4.

why is his car so raggedy?

Anything done to the fender? I would love to go 9s (+30) all around in the future but doubt I would ever be that low. When do you expect to have tires mounted?

yeah man... i gotta get some parts together and installed, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to end up radiusing the fender for perfect flushness when layed out. like so:

then it would really kill you to know that a lot of the cats in japan riding like that are on coilovers (not air). however, they also use a lot of components to get it that way (blocks, arms, etc.) so the geometry isn't as bad as you think it would be.

i plan on developing some similar products for the a32 down the line. from the research i have done i think bj/tr relocation and shortened axles should fix most of the problems associated with extreme lowering of our cars.

I don't get the crying about the beam. Pick another one up, bend for camber, done.

It is not just the geometry, if that corner compresses a few mm the rim will be scraping the fender.

And z32, that is ridiculous. When did you pick up the FNs?

that would not be functional camber. it would be at the same degree regardless of suspension compression. theres nothing that can be done, and thats just something we have to live with.

the geometry is usually modified so that the wheel cambers inside the fender when compressed.

in the case of the pic posted, i'm pretty sure that car is layed out. i.e. there will be no further compression.

Fitment looking good so far. I gots to get up with you to see what it looks like when you get tires on them and the car sitting on the ground. I'm prob going to go with 10s from the looks of your 9.5s.

You should've known that people on here would give you crap about the pics. I can't wait til the other forum is back up.

the car is in galveston. hopefully i can get it done for the meet but theres a lot of time and $$$ to go. with the 9.5 only the lip of the wheel pokes (perfection). heres another pic without the wheel jacked all the way up i think:



i can't wait for vsc to be back up either. i'm trying to become a vendor over there too so i can gett people on that new suspension i was telling you about.
