BC Coilovers, Nismo rims, 275/305 Swagger!
 
So after receiving my rims from WISHIHADNAV (thanks) and BC BR coilovers from ERIC @ Driveline. Got it put on with more of an agressive tire combo
275/35/19 and 305/30/19. 15mm spacers in front 20mm rear. I will make an album with more shots and stuff, but just wanted to throw these shots out there!

first it was like this, but the gap in the rear killed me.

go the above parts and now it sits like this!

She looks great!!!!!!!!

tjlazer 11-08-2010 04:34 PM

Looks great! Surprised the spacers worked out, would of thought 20mm would stick them way too far out....

c41006 11-08-2010 04:38 PM

Very nice!

fuct 11-08-2010 04:43 PM

Yeah didnt know 20mm would work out back. anyway you could get us another shot to better show the rear!

HATED1 11-08-2010 04:59 PM

rear is cambered in at 2.8 on both sides. IT DOES STICK OUT without cambering in. i could have taken out the spacers and would have been fine, but camber is my friend. thanks for the compliments guys.

looks great. how do you like the ride with the coilovers?

i like it, i need to play with the adjustments more to dial it in, so i can't quite comment on it right now. BUT i have reached a setting which is quite decent, 17 front 20 rear. It bounces slightly but recovers quick, but like i said probably need to play with it a little more. In comparisoan to the H&R's though, i will say the H&Rs are the best way to go for a desired slight drop with OEM comfort. I do enjoy my BC BR's though, just working out the small things.

did you have the extenders installed? or did they cut holes in the plastic lining in the hatch?

if you make the damper settings softer does that make it more bouncy or less bouncy?

holes were cut in the plastic with the extenders placed in, if i make it soft, it wil be more bouncy, hard will stiffen the ride.

kevin1985912 11-08-2010 06:22 PM

275 in the front? how does that change your car's handling? what's the front wheel's size? 19 X 9?

tjlazer 11-08-2010 06:29 PM

fronts are 9.5

da mayor 11-08-2010 06:34 PM

looks good

tjlazer 11-08-2010 06:35 PM

now if i were you, i would try to mark the holes myself, rather than let the shop do try and figure it out. just some friendly advice.

Jquad 11-09-2010 12:53 AM

Lo0ks nice bro:tup:

with the 275's in the front the cars handling doesn't seem noticeably different in the dry, however on the wet roads, i do feel a little "floatiness" at times. The reason i am running 275's up front is because i did not want to spend more money. These were the stockers on the rear. WHen i do get more money, i would recommend 265/35/19's up front. This would possibly eliminate the slight "rub" on the plastic fender liner that pertudes out. If i went with a 10 mm spacer it would probably not rub. But i do like the flushness so i'll just change tires when it comes too that point.

Ruprick65 11-09-2010 02:54 AM

Your car looks great! Just picked up my Nismo wheels, can't wait to put them on.

ClemsonWill 11-09-2010 08:29 AM

Very nice! I really like the Nismo wheels on the standard body.

fuct 11-09-2010 08:59 AM

man im on the fence now. mini cobra told me 15mm with 305/255 on the nismo wheels was perfect.... your 20mm in the back aint my cup of tea and i want to stay within factory alignment specs.

10mm or 15mm all around?

To stay within spec, go with 15mm

wishihadnav 11-09-2010 05:40 PM

thanks guys! the ride is good, still need to tweak it a little possibly stiffer in the rear. When hitting imperfections on the road, there is a slight bounce with a quick recovery. I want the recovery to be a lot faster however, so stiffening the rear wil probably help. I like it, just got ot dial it in. Currently set at 17 front 20 rear. Great thing about this set-up so far, is nothing scrapes the pavement (yet) the BERK CBE has not hit either.

fuct 01-27-2011 09:37 AM

im so excited! ordered my 15mm H&R spacers. hopefully i can add a 15mm rear comparison shot.

Red__Zed 01-27-2011 10:42 AM

Dang. Looks ill.
