    Cant get low enough!

    So here's how she sits now.. but I have a problem.. The rear sits perfectly, but the front is maxed out, and stiill doesnt sit low enough.. Suggestions?
    GC coilovers btw








    The rear has a perfect stance.. wheel lip and fender meet together.. but the front has major gap :(

    Front housings need to be shortened if they aren't already .
    Then you can play with shorter and firmer springs .

      ^nice double post n00b.

      what camber plates you running? reduced stack height on the front end will lower it a lil more, my GC arent even all the way down, and im lower than you in the front. Vorschlag FTW.

          I demand the wheels on the 240SX. What are they at least? 16" flavor?

          You could always get some springs that are different heights to play around with.

            Lower front tire air pressure to 5 psi. Instant drop L.O.L. Just kidding!! See you at the E30 fall rally.

                They look like Enkei 92's but they are not. Well...they might be.

                  Still a sick ride man. I do not know what to say to get it lower, other than...your ride is sick, ha? But seriously, awesome.

                    Add a lip.

                    There's going to be difference since the rear tire fender sits lower than the front. Do you mind me asking why you would want to be lower than that for street use? Unless it's a tracker?

                        Just leave it alone, I hate how e30s stock and most lowering kits make the e30 slant down towards the front. I wish mine was level i may need to take out the rubber seats in the back to level it out.

                          Or you could just buy two of the higher offset sportmaxes for the front like I may do at some point.

                          I just can't figure out if I'll need spacer too, which would probably completely negate the pupose.

                          and if those are not sportmaxes I apologize. they just kind of look like 005's in the pics

                            Looks good the way it is, maybe raise the rear up some.

                              Thanks man. I really appreciate it!


                              To others-
                              I want my car lower because, well, thats what I like. Dumped is where it's at. Like my e36-


                              I will add a lip when I have the funds.. meaning after my e36 is done :( $9k in, $1k left.. roughly.

                              And they are sportmaxes.
                              I want the lower offset ones, these dont have enough lip :)
