looking to lower my 32gtst,but im worried if its too low

my tyres/rims will hit my gaurds when HICAS is involved.

how far do the rear wheels actually move?

18x9 265's are my wheels.Theres still 1 1/2" of clearance from gaurd to top of tyre

but id like to have the guard sitting over the top of the tyre.

opinions please...

try a search.

it would tell you that the wheels only turn to +/- 1 degree.

It would probably suggest you that you should remove / disable the HICAS

I guess you could disable it like the previous owner of my car did - cut all the wires to the control unit.... Probably not safe though.

I would think that If the FRONT of the car can handle full lock without scrubbing, the back will be fine.

If you want the gaurd over the top of the tyre (1.5 in?) you need to consider alot more than merely tyre scrub.

The car probably won't handle. again, search (because I've read that on the forums somewhere, but don't know where).

The suspension setup is not made for it.

only -/+ 1 degree hey,cool i thought it would be much more cause it sure feels like it sometimes.

no i dont want my guard 1.5inch over the rear wheels.

what i was saying is there already is a 1.5inch gap between the tyre and guard that i want to close up.

havent found a conclusion about removal of HICAS in a 32gtst as yet

      High temp brake fluid?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      RBF660 doesn't meet DOT5.1 as it is too thick. DOT5.1 has a very low viscosity requirement compared to DOT3 or 4. (Dot5.1 must be half as "thick" as DOT4)   It would also be a big indicator for anyone using that fluid in extremely cold weather to possibly look to swap for something in the DOT5.1 range.

      Thoughts on this .. G35-1050 pulsar result

      Here is as close as we got to a direct comparison(3 vs 4inch exhaust), a tickle more boost, which I am sure was in part due to the exhaust.  Made 790 on more boost.

      They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.
