25MM Spacers in the back still.
Stock suspension.
I am rubbing since I'm only -1 camber up front. Did yall roll your front fenders

You can roll the fenders, but I think most people have installed adjustable front upper control arms to get the necessary camber to clear. SPL is the best solution.

Sharad909 06-15-2020 12:40 PM

Okay, I'll start looking into SPL. I also may roll the fenders lol
Thank you!

OptionZero 06-15-2020 01:44 PM

rolling fenders is easy, you should do that regardless for max clearance

you definitely need FUCAs, and SPL is the best and only option you should consider. do it right

and while you're at it, coilovers and the SPL rear arms too

That's going to look nice once you lower the car and add camber. You may want to run a smaller spacer in the rear, maybe a 15mm. The amount of camber you will need to get the tire back under the quarter will make the car a little less fun to drive if you care about that sort of thing.

Thanks! I'm planning on using my 20mm. So far no rub what so ever. I did roll the fenders after all and it solved my rubbing issue. My driver front liner is all chewed up now lol May try to save it,, idk yet. I did have a track day 2 weeks ago,and the car did great. Next mod HAS to be the billet fuel hat then Control arms.

Yes did the rolling. It helped a lot. So far, no rubbing. Suprising since I'm on stock struts (70k miles). Looking into coilovers. I still dont know the difference between the true coils or OEM mounted coils.

OptionZero 07-01-2020 07:03 PM

True coil means the spring is wrapped around the damper

OEM type is divorced. Just look at your read suspension.. the springs sit in a bucket apart from the damper

This change in geometry affects what spring rate to choose

fify

The front is a true coil-over. Like OZ said. The OEM rear is a divorced style. When changing the rear to a true style of coil-over. You can't use the same spring rates as a divorced style. The divorced style is a higher rate.

I looked but didn't see this info.
Does anyone know the weight of the stock 18" rims vs the 19" on the Sport trim? Weight with tires would be great.

I finally figured out how to upload a picture here. Here is my 18" set up.

OMGWTFBBQ 07-21-2020 10:27 PM

Yum. What are the specs on that setup 210Z?

OptionZero 07-21-2020 10:48 PM

Reason for the 10.5 up front is I like the Ultra Deep Concave faces. Thanks.

That's correct! Thank you
