I have 18" 9.5" +12 fronts and 10.5" +15 rears, sits pretty much dead flush, not perfect flush but close to it. I really don't think $1800 are for 19", more like 18". But yeah great wheels, get the bronze colour or you could wait for whenever damn Enkei releases their RS05RR, that looks the shit!

AFter lowering the front it now scrapes front crossmember as well as subfame/chassis at the rear, I found this out having to take on the 8 speed humps to get down from here on the 4th level

[Nightcrawler]

Yep, basically anyone who lowers their V35 eventually pulls out the lowered springs and puts in higher ones - I even pulled off my front lip as well, I was so jacked off at scraping it on EVERYTHING! And I busted my exhaust a number of times before modifying it to sit higher. #v35firstworldproblems

[ELFGT350]

Just crazy having to deal with driveways , speed humps , potholes etc - just for the sake of the car looking good and handling slightly sharper. The V's even in standard trim touch in certain places where my older and lower R33 didn't. I certainly ain't messing with it

[(Locky)]

Lowered more than just some springs. .. but yeah the chassis hangs a lot lower than earlier Nissans

[Seano350GT]

Amen to that.. i'm only lowered 1.1'' front and rear and i need to take crazy angles on most driveways to get up without scraping. Also jacking the car up is a pain, need to roll the car onto bits of wood for the stand to even fit under. Anyone know of a super low hydraulic jack or even if they exist?

is the cheapest one around.

There is a similar one for $400 if you want to go Snap-on

[Seano350GT]

You legend Andrew, thanks!

Ive got a lowish profile alloy jack, it can just get under the sils but cant clear the exhaust or the cross member.... Just drive it up on wood as then it gives you plenty of room to swing the arm and not take 20 min to just get it started.

Not sure how much lower than stock mine is as It came with the coils wound all the awy up, this is max low, with the lock ring taken out of the rear. Tucking a little tread all round, but with how low this car hangs I think I would get beached on any more than a small speedbump..... Better than bags though

The concerning thing with this through is that it scrapes chassis/crossmember. Not just exhaust like a lot of earlier nissans

with mismatch, but kinda shows lack of clearance

[Seano350GT]

Damn that is really low.. your S14 looks sexy as f*ck might i also add.

[(Locky)]

Ta

Its nearly back on the track just needs a dyno... and a set of kfs

[SMOKEYV35]

I think it's also got to do with the really long wheel base on these things. It means even when you angle you're not going to make much difference by the time the opposite rear wheel climbs the incline.

The US guys ride them this low all the time, and only damage seems to be exhausts (replace flanges with V-bands for some extra clearance) and rear subframe bolts getting ground down (cut off, replace, meh). I do worry about the fuel tank tho, as that seems to scrape when angling up gutters sometimes (sits in front of the passenger wheel?) and I reckon a metal undertray for the front would be a wise investment.....

I looked at cup kits for a while and then decided that spending another 4k on suspension just to overcome the shortfalls of the design was crazy - so i'm just gonna buy a daily and save the skyline for the occasions where i can be bothere setting up all the ramps to get it out of the driveway lol.

[Nightcrawler]

Bags are the answer, and what I am going to fit to my V36 when I get one. The best of both worlds. Let's face it - we don't want (or need) to be slammed all the time. But when you do, you do. So I would run it nice and high for daily duties, slam it for the weekends, and super slam it once it is sitting in place at car shows
