Pix, prease? It's funny you should bring this up. I was thinking about coilovers as well (i don't have the necessary equipment for a lowered spring/strut set up). I drive pretty carefully already, and my front overhang isn't very much, but....I mean you're not all "Stanced the !$#% out" are you? I was thinking about 1-1.5 inches lower maybe.
Here is some pictures taken today. The wheels are staggered 17, and on Wednesday im installing BBS staggered 18.
Boss!!!!
If you really want just a 1.5" drop at most, coilovers aren't the best way to go about it. Just get some lowering springs. Most entry level or commonly (cheaper-end) companies do not offer a near OEM ride. Everything else will feel rough unless you customize both the valving & spring rates.
Skid plates save no oil pan from impact. Maybe from scratches going up and down drive ways but if stuff comes out of no where, the impact will destroy your skid plate along with your oil pan. "SKID" plate, not "IMPACT" plate.Originally Posted by MPLSdunk
Get a skid plate to protect your oil pan and drive with common sense. That's really all you need. You will tear up your front lip but that's part of life with a lowered car. My skid plate looks like I hit a few land mines. It does it's job though.
I'd kinda go 180sx all around, no doubt, BUT I don't have 500-600 dollars to spend on just the front bumper right now. And no thanks, I'll take my s13 over a kouki any day. Dat wing is the only exterior "mod" I've done on the car. Rather *+%+! with performance than go aero at this point

Solution? Raise the damn engine if you plan on slamming the car. Had a friend raise his S14's SR with hockey pucks and the lowest part of his car is the sway bar.
I'm just gonna edit this because I don't want start an argument. I know damn well 180sx=Kouki. Thought you were talking about the s14.Originally Posted by solemunchies
You must not know much about the S-Chassis...
Kouki 180SX = Type X 180SX
Your wing = Type X wing = Kouki wing
Besides Kouki bumpers aren't 500-600 dollars, you'd think I'd spend that much?
