Even if it has settled a little bit, it would still have mega negative rake though?

What are you on about mayte? I'm not making a big thing about my car being JDM (It's imported from Japan you halfwit) and I don't have a gtr wing? (Yet) I'm not playing it off as a GTR. It will always be a GTST, not like I'm putting GTR badges on it. Yet your French hatch is plastered with JDM...

That was my point, there's nothing wrong with powder coating.

Oh my. So JDM. So wow. On topic: either DIY with spray paints or take MartinR's advice. £25 per wheel incl removing/refitting tyres is pretty good value for money. Don't listen to the guy saying powdercoating weakens the wheel and makes them brittle, who's ever heard of a wheel snapping in half...

Stahp. Any lowering springs on standard shocks are bad tbh. I'm sure Renault didn't design these shocks to be paired with lowering springs. 40mm is just about acceptable, 60mm is just a bit too much IMO & I wouldn't trust it at all without aftermarket shocks that are designed to be that low.

Get some pics!

I'd say his rears are too low

Hmm lark speed are quite reputable I think? I'm sure if you contact them or GMax they'll sort you out. I reckon they've sent you the wrong ones. I lowered my 1.2 by 40mm and didn't have to touch the bumpstops.

Yep :/ That's Christchurch roads for you... They're starting to rust too :/ Needs a good bare metal respray.

Haha need to buy a proper trolley jack at some point. It was the only jacks we had at my friends house. Yeah the nismo rims are pretty cool but I think sorting out the bodged wastegate setup and intercooler should be a priority.

Thought I'd see how my Dodo Juice would work on the Skyline... Shame they dont get Dodo Juice here really, it's fricking good sh*t. Much shine. Very reflections. Wow. Needs a good clay bar + DA polish then most of the paint will be looking saweeeeeeet. Bumper and bonnet...

^ this guy doesn't know. 60mm isn't 'show car only' height. My old car was lowered 40mm and was still considered fairly high. People have lowered their clios by 90/100mm on coilovers etc, and they are still drive able. On topic: your springs are fucked. Get a refund/contact GMax or whoever. Get...

That is 100% not right. Not even sure 60mm should be that low on the back? What springs did you buy and where from?

Started gathering some parts :D Untitled by danedser, on Flickr

Nah they ones on the floor are cheap and nasty. I think they look pretty good, correct period, nismo, made by Rays and imported from Japan nice fitment too. I think my current rims are grim. They're FWD offset, mismatched tyres, scrub on full lock on the inner guard/arch liner

Period correct for the car though.

Are you srs? Gherkin. Pls.

Test fitted a friends wheel. NOTE: The car isnt fully dropped as the tyre was completely flat and we could only tighten the wheel nuts with our hands as the wheel brace/wrench/socket was too big. So with the wheel properly fitted, the car will be lower and wont have positive camber like it does...

Wolololololol! Love how this thread turned out. Not a fan of the spoiler, but at least its getting used as it should. Honda motors loved to be thrashed.

Yeah man loving it :) Finally got a job and college applications are sent off so things are looking up now!

Wuuuuuuuuuuuut?! That's so wierd! Looks good though, you done a good job of spraying it :)

Got my name changed back (thanks @Nik) Here's some more photo's from the bwarp meet that Ryan took (guy with the old civic) I should have given my car a clean really. Dirty as f*ck. Bwarp meet 07 by Deviant Esq, on Flickr Bwarp meet 06 by Deviant Esq, on Flickr Bwarp meet 05 by Deviant...

Nah they're cheap enough tbh.

Get a proper apex/fk kit if you're going lower than 60mm. Might as well get a set of TA Technixx coilovers. 60mm on standard shocks, even new, is still a nono.

An engineer hired by LVVTA (low volume vehicle technical association) Apparently the ones local to me don't like 'boy racers' which they'll no doubt class me as -.-

Cheers :) Yes mate, quite a bit, I'll just give a quick run down! Coilovers, gold Work VS-XX rims, camber arms, decent set of recaro's, vented guards, Stage 1 package (various mods, will get me up to 300bhp at the wheels), front lip (maybe the one pictured above if I don't find a better one)...
