I will never get sick of stock bodied, pig nose cars. Props!

It's a pignose lip... When I had a pignose front on my car the lip was on the floor.

It's the 17/18 stagger... Car is raked, needs to drop rear down to raise the lip, then lower front more.
Simple really.

From the looks of the lip he prob has maybe 1-1 1/2 in gap from road to frame brace. Saying that judging from the fender gap it has more room to be lowered. But it is a good looking s13. Just some minor adjusting.

205/40/17 all round on 17x9.5 +12

lbs_ft · 05-02-2012, 02:21 PM

ahhhhh regret...

I should have gone with 17's

Ka24Power · 05-02-2012, 08:15 PM

Hey boys. like stated, the rear needs to go down more. My HSD's are all the way down with one collar removed in that picture. Need to order shorter Swift springs for the front to drop more. Wheel gap is deceptively large in that picture due to small tire sizing.

I'll see if I can find a better one to post tomorrow, left my camera at work today.

Was ran of the road at about 50ish last rain we had. Went threw a ditch, back up it and slid side ways threw a feild about 30 yards. I welded the skid plate on the night before. Thank god I did. Besides a dirty car and a dented skid plate the car was un harmed lol. I drove it home after I pulled it out with my truck.

How is that low low? I could put a foot underneath the bumper....

tqstarburst · 05-06-2012, 11:16 PM

tucking rim now.

KoukiTony · 05-06-2012, 11:20 PM

I kind of want to go lower in the rear, and then maybe I'll need to drop the front more to balance out reverse rake. I still have about 1/2-3/4 of an inch left on the front coils with all collars intact on stance lx

Sorry the pics are kinda big.

lunzee · 05-07-2012, 01:45 AM

I will upload a picture with a bumper on this weekend but in the picture its on 2 inch blocks to fit a Jack. Front suspension arms are 1.2 inches off the floor

Steinkrunk · 05-07-2012, 06:48 PM

As low as I can go on BC racing coils. Still have a little room in the back but the fronts are maxed with collars removed.

I dunno. Some people get lowering springs and think they're slammed. Just checking lol.

David48 · 05-07-2012, 09:26 PM

I was merely using lowering springs as a dramatic example.
