The front camber looks a little funny aswell because I didnt have time to get an before getting out there so the front right has more than the front left and looks weird.

I'm in the process of swapping from the sr setup to a 6L in search of some reliability. When the car works it was awesome especially the driftworks stuff so much grip and lock even at that height.

And ill leave you with two of my favourite pics

nathanong87 · 03-19-2011, 04:55 AM

SO GOOOD.

RurouniMidnight · 03-19-2011, 09:21 AM

That second picture dirt drop looks awesome.

95KA-Turbo · 03-19-2011, 10:39 AM

Good shit man! Your car is amazing! Is there any chance you've measured the height difference between your pickup points up front? Like how high the LCA mounting point is off the ground and how high the ball joint is off the ground. I am curious how flat your arms are.

I got my left side all cut out and pulled out for near 0 camber! I just need to shape both rear fenders and get some metal welded back in there so it isn't wide open.

reapr · 03-19-2011, 04:11 PM

I havent measured it at the front but its pretty much flat to look at it. The rear still points up a little just no where near as much as it would without the knuckles.

FantasticVoyages · 03-19-2011, 04:33 PM

Reaper reaping things and stuff. So very good.

FusionR240sx · 03-19-2011, 06:44 PM

just to show 9.5-4 can fit under stock fenders/hammered.
i <3 s14's.

30mm overs.

and one of my fav's ^

97nismo · 03-19-2011, 08:55 PM

guess we all have different tastes cause the purple one looks 100x better than this red one below

95KA-Turbo · 03-19-2011, 09:05 PM

You must have an interesting style since, in my opinion, the purple one looks incomplete and the red/orange one looks bad ass.

Lukasss · 03-19-2011, 09:22 PM

Basically exactly what he said^

I know its frowned upon, but, i think ill be doing a kouki conversion with my tax return.

I plan on doing the headlights the red one up there as as well. Personally like them better than oem.

I actually updated my blog too!

Knoop I wanna do the same thing on my car since the inner liner is already ripped on both sides but don't wanna have to repaint my rear quarters again =\

Just keep in mind the vertex headlights dont really light up much at all compared to standard ones which is why I swapped back.

They do look better though so if you dont care about the light output then definately go for them

Lukasss · 03-19-2011, 10:07 PM

Well, the main reason id be getting them is because im getting a hell of a deal on them.
Im also going to go with fiberglass fenders until i come across a good deal on some metal ones.

Thanks for the info though, i wasnt aware they were poor in comparison.

reapr · 03-19-2011, 10:13 PM

Very noticeable difference especially when you put HID's in them.

They are cheaper which is why I originally bought some. One other thing with them is the mounting holes dont line up with factory lights which I found a little strange. Pretty easy to fix though

Lukasss · 03-19-2011, 10:17 PM

They will more than likely be temporary then.
I do a lot of night driving, so, visibility is a big deal. Thanks!

I want your wheels, i'm glad you don't live in the us. I would be inclined to probably murder you and take them all for myself.

j/k

Lukasss · 03-20-2011, 01:03 AM

I love your car, so on point.

wh0aitznic0 · 03-20-2011, 01:08 AM

Damn how do you drive? You have like a nail of exhaust clearance!

95KA-Turbo · 03-20-2011, 01:15 AM

I haven't driven in the past at that height. I accidentally over lowered it because I thought I had the height set but the lift was actually holding the car up, haha. I have to raise it up a bit...like 1/2-3/4 an inch. Otherwise I am going to break control arms and rip my exhaust off if I go off track. My toe arm is like 1/2 an inch away from the subframe and that's with subframe risers....and the suspension/wheel clearance will let me shove the wheel up in the wheel well until my RUCA/toe arms are bashing my frame.

That being said...you can see it tucks down to that low under load:

So if I was at that height static, I would just ride on my exhaust, lol.

wh0aitznic0 · 03-20-2011, 01:17 AM

Lol that's fucked up. I might as well raise my car up too and just stop trying!

95KA-Turbo · 03-20-2011, 01:19 AM

Exhaust upgrades for the future involve oval piping, hahaha. We ovaled out the section that goes under the subframe so I could tuck it up as high as possible, but the rest of it is basically flat now.

Witness · 03-20-2011, 01:32 AM

ehhhh

spooled240 · 03-20-2011, 01:42 AM

^clean just needs a little moar low

those of you with HID's do you have problems with them flickering or shutting off when you turn on your hi-beams?
