Boost,

I love the drop! I'm thinking of keeping my stock sport wheels too and this is the look i'm hoping for, but I have a few questions.

What size tire are you running with that?

Do any of your tires rub at all?

Any adverse handling effects?

Did you need to buy any alignment extras to make this work out with the drop?

Boost_lee

Thanks

Running stock tires with 16K on them

No rubbing. Even with 15mm spacers in front, and 20mm spacers in rear

Handling has improved with the swift springs!

I haven't been aligned yet, so I am not sure. I will likely get aligned when I get new wheels.

Thanks! Thereis no rubbing? Thats awesome! No mid corner bumps or anything?

I'm hoping that I won't need any sort of camber bolts or crap like that. I dealt with those on my last car. I'd like to keep it as close to OE setup as possible just with a better spring. Since the spacers will change the wheel rate, I want to increase the spring rate a bit to not lose performance.

Can you make sure to post alignment specs and such on here? I'm likely gonna use your setup as my reference if you don't mind

Hey, how did you wire your rear fog light? I have the prewiring at the rear bumper, but I do not know how to give it power. Any help?

Boost_lee

What pre wiring are you talking about? There is something that looks like a plug for the fog but I don't know if that is wired up correctly.

I bought the short z1 pigtail version and simply tapped off of my license plate lights.

TongMan

dang...I guess i'll have to tap it to the license plate lights. I can't even get the dummy light out, so I may have to abandon my rear fog light install.

This picture is just straight up win. You're the ONE reason I'm still considering those side blades!

His car is why I bought my rear addons.

Yes watch the locktite, nissan loads these little bolts with it. Try heating up the nuts and see if it helps. If not, put ur socket on a drill and let it spin until the other end melts the housing,. It was a last resort for me, but i won't be reinstalling the butt plug anyways lol

Thank u sir, they are sleek and flow so well with stock body parts.

Thanks bud, glad I could help persuade.

thanks, seems that a lot of people are going this route. Its a good looking combo, and the car is a blast to whip around corners. I work evenings and get out at 10pm usually, but Im off every now and then on a thursday. Let me know if you get any ideas

Thanks! I'll look into the meet date G, we will make a thread soon. If its an early meet, I should be free on the 23rd since we are shooting for a Saturday meet.
