Mornin' Gents! :tiphat:

Alchemy I also went h&r as many others have. You definitely get great quality they are the best ones one the market. I did another common sizing I have seen a bunch of guys go with, 20mm drs spacer in the front 25mm drm spacer on rears. I think what size you go with should be based on how flush you want to be. Personally I'm more into the hella flush wheel scene over the stretch and poke look jut preferences. You can check the pics of mine in my thread I linked below.......GL and happy modding

Today however though I made the call to insurance and car storage to set everything up for next Saturday! Can't f*ing wait! :driving: all next weekend

Good morning all, happy Friday!

Rainy in Chicago this morning

Nothing is happening with the Z's today. My wife let me drive the Juke to work, though.

Juke Juke! :tup: Does it feel more like an SUV or a hot hatch?

It feels like nothing else I have driven. It is peppy but not what I would call fast, well behaved on the highway and very fun on the street.

Peppy + well behaved + fun = great commute

Ordered the Stillen Canerds. They will be shipped out Monday along with my Stillen brake cooling kit.

:tup: let us know your feedback!

:tup:

Congrats on still being alive :tup: ......according to the local paper I died yesterday, but unless this is heaven I'm pretty sure I'm alive.

:icon17:

Mr.kenchan, 10mm or 15mm is what I am thinking, are you thinking the chances of the tires hitting the wheel-well over big bump if I go for 15-20mm with stock-spring(too soft)???

Mr.onzedge, you drive the Juke today and have fun, so it sounds like you are having a very good Friday. :tup:

Hey, Fire, you better keep yourself alive cos the ZL1 is not here yet. :icon18:

Thanks for your advice LMBmikeZ, I am going with H&R for sure.

I fixed the spelling too. LOL

Morning ZMan8.

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!! :tiphat: :tiphat:

Work Your A$$ Off Friday!!!!!

Morning Mr. Alcheng!

I tried measuring the gap last night but couldn't get accurate measurements (1 am = ....:yawn:) I'll try your method today. Based on what others have done here I think front is 15 mm max on stock rays. I don't like poke and I don't want rock chips everywhere either from too much tire coming out.

For the rear I'm leaning at 15mm, but want to get a more accurate measurement before I pull the trigger. if feel like the perfect spacer for the rear would actually be about 17.5 mm haha

Ya alcheng those dam Canadians are taking their time. Maybe I can get them to work harder for some poutine, eh?:tiphat:

Sorry to hear of your passing Duf.

hey ZMan8, have you lowered your Z??

I am a bit bias to 15mm with my rims, I don't have the stock RAYS you know, but wanna see if kenchan's comments on the consideration I have on the 15mm.

Maybe they should do that in Mexico, LOL, nachos anyone?? eh?

Not yet, I plan to get Swifts + Koni yellows but figured its better to get spacers first than lower first (If i plan to do one a time)

In a year or two, I may just buy nice wheels with the correct offsets (it's just hard right now to justify spending $800-$1000 per wheel)

Oh ya, thats right alcheng, you have Vossen's right?

I was going to say for sure if its stock, I would do what I and LMBmikeZ suggested, 20/25 but with aftermarket, its trickier.

I see that z1 has like 3mm spacers you can add to a 10 or 15 :icon17:

no, it wont hit anything with 15mm (may be 20mm), just the matter of balance in appearance. :)


hi fire! :hello:

if you're not going to lower your car 20mm spacers will give it a nice poke in the front. rear 20mm spacers will have poke. but again, the stock RE050A's are narrow tires (same size) compared to say the ContiDW's so it will look too narrow with poke on the rear especially if not lowered.

i recommend 15/10 (front/rear) or 15/15 (front/rear) spacers max on stock ride, sport 19's. :)

Kenchan is the spacer guru :tiphat: :tup:

No 20's for the front i for sure. And I'm think 15mm for rear should be good.

It's interesting you recommend even 10 mm for rear. Seems like 98% go 20mm or 25mm in the rear. But I dont want poke especially on narrow tires.

EDIT: I will evaluate if I want to lower/how much once I see how the car sits with spacers

..cuisine and detailing also.

hi zman- :tup: yah, the car just looks werd with narrow tires with wide stance unless it's lowered. then the added camber kinda blends the lines better tucking the tires inwards.. but to me, still looks kinda werd.

:icon18: we all loves charburgers and cheeze fries. :yum:

hello, mr.onzedge! :tup:

:iagree:

tied it into the tailight harness

zman- btw, just for reference my current setup running 19x10.5 and 275/35/19 DW's are at least 15mm wider overall vs 19x10 stock 19's with 275/3519 RE050A's.

this is why i can get away with running ET15 on the rear and still looking :yum:

why? should tie it to your head lights. :icon17: ;)

:tup:

Cool.

I have a Nissan OEM fog light and the full wiring kit from Motorsport Auto and they are the last remaining parts sitting on my mod shelf. I am reluctant to install it because of the amount of interior panel disassembly that appears to be involved. I am trying to build up the gumption to tackle it in the next few weeks.

mr.onzedge- would it make sense to add rear view camera and perhaps dynamat while doing the fog lamp install? :) (highly recommend).

oh i know the feeling i still somehow ended up with one extra clip outta my car o.O

For some, maybe. I am not bothered by road noise and am used to reversing the car using the mirrors. The Juke has a backup camera and I don't use it really.

Oh yeah, Happy Friday, Mr. Kenchan. :tiphat:

how do u like the juke?

Hi guys just checking in. Have to work tonight so I'll check back in the AM.

yea im off to work in 10 min *cry*

It is weird, but cool. It drives nicely and handles well. I like the 6 speed, but it would have been better to have AWD and manual, but they do not make it that way.

It is the perfect Mrs. Dr. onzedge car. Most of her colleagues over at UC Davis drive Toyota "Shoot Me Now, I Have Given Up On Life" Prius, so she stands out a bit -- which I think she secretly likes to do. It also has a far superior sound system than the 370. Driving in today, I brought along Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy and it sounded very good and detailed.

ahh, just thought i throw that in there cause i ended up removing my trunk liner 3 times. hahaha. :D (fog, camera, dynamat).

back in the day when i had a WRX i had to make a 3 point turn along a narrow private road... it had these decorative rocks about the size of a volley ball along the side of the road on both sides spaced about 2ft apart. they were tall enough to damage rear valance/exhaust, but too small to see through the rear glass and hard to tell depth from just the side mirror.

a rear view camera captures things you CAN'T see out the rear glass or mirrors. :) i use it each time i back up.


i have to paint my house door frame bits tonight but it's raining outside. :shakes head: i need less humidity otherwise my paint's going to look cloudy...

It was Z Spa day at Chez Gurney - washed, clayed, polished, and waxed. Got the Ken-san Special - all Griot's products. :tup:

Here's some pictures that show the ride height with stock springs as well as the look with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers and Nismo rims. Got my 10mm H&R DRS spacers for the rear in yesterday. They'll get installed when the car goes back to the dealer for the bumper repaint.

Got a Show and Shine tomorrow, so I pulled the front plate and put on my tow hook. Since I habe the gomini mount, it just screws right into the Nismo plate mount.
