Hey just trying to plan out my suspension stuff and wanting to ask a couple meat related questions before I buy anything else. I want 275/35r19s front on my nismo wheels, want to run 2.5 degrees camber up front, and eventually an .5-1" drop on V3's. From what I've read here it should fit fine, but I wan't to know if i can throw spacers at it too and how big. Shitty socal roads should be taken into consideration. Rears will be either 285 or 305 no spacers .5-1deg camber with a .5-1" drop undecided on size but not really worried about those.

Yeah right...front toe bar? You should be fine with what you want to do. I'd go at least 1" lower all 4. Spacers will make the car look a lot more aggressive. I think guys with Nismo's tend to get 15mm on all 4. You may need them in the front to keep from scrubbing the inner fender? And the back will look way better with a spacer. What he means about scrapping is the nose of your car. I'm (non Nismo) on Swifts with 265/305's & 15mm/20mm spacers, no rub in fenders, but the front lower spoiler scrapes often. You might want a touch less front camber for better tire wear. And a touch more in the rear. BTW, you will need front & rear camber kits to adjust how you're wanting to. OEM adjustment is minimal in the rear and there's no camber adjustment front. Hope this helps...my 2 cents.

I'm dropped on Fortune 500 and I need front toe bars and I'm at -2.1lft and -2.3rt up front with 265s. You shouldn't have to worry to much. You gonna scrape, that is just part of the game!

[1slow370]

Thank you for the response first of all, but what is a front toe bar? i though the front was double a-arm? and what do you mean scrape? like the wheel scraping the fender liner? or just the car scraping the ground over bumps? or hitting a bump and rubbing on the fender? Could you uncompress your response a little, I'm having a hard time figure out what you mean. Your dropped on Fortune 500 coilovers but how much of a drop, by front toe bars did you mean adjustable upper control arms, -2.1 and -2.3 is your camber right?

[Hotrodz]

No worries and sorry for the jacked up response! Okay, I meant that I need front camber arms as stated above. And yes, those are my current camber settings. You may not have as much of an issue scraping as stated because the Nismo nose is longer than the standard body kit. There is absolutely no rubbing from side to side. I would, as suggested add spacers. I have 15mm all around. If I were to do it again I would go with 20s up front.

NORAIN, thank for the translation as you are right on the money. Also, I am dropped 1 inch lower than you stated...so again NORAIN was right on the money. One last thing, I would get a Zspeed undertray. I wore a hole through the OEM tray from scraping on driveways and speed bumps.

Nice tires, I wish now I had spent the extra money on RE-11's. How do they feel vs. what you had? The softer side wall on the S-04's I bought is taking some getting use to.
I just have to say, with all due respect. She'd look soooooo much better with a set of springs or coil overs and some spacers. look at the difference...

The grip is insane on these. Ripped a ss Camaro earlier sounded like possible supercharger whine on it too.

These vs my pss's is that these will be bald very quickly but god damn that grip lol
