Ride Hight Stagea

[plaztikman]

What do u guys think the best tire to rim distance is for a Stagea

[KiwiRS4T]

I presume you are talking about the tyre profile... the answer is the same as any other car. Broadly speaking lower profile = better handling, higher profile = better ride. Its entirely up to you how much comfort you are prepared to sacrifice for ultimate cornering performance. For me that means 235/45 on 17 x 8 rims [i have a set of slicks for the track] but if you want 20in rims go for it!

MM i think i mean suspension ..ie how low it sits on the wheels

[garetb16]

at the moment mine sits about 20-25mm from the guard to tire, but id like it to sit right 10mm to right on it.

currently have Nismo S Tune suspension setup.

is quite good. good mix of ride comfort and sport, wouldnt say track ready though.

Agreed.. hence the "S" in S-tune = sport.

Nismo do not do an R-tune kit for the M35 but you can get stiffer springs if you feel you need it

Mine has bit more distance from tyre to arch due to a lower profile (235/40's).

A 45 profile tyre with a suspension kit that lowers an RS/RX around 25mm is perfect.

im thinking of selling my S Tunes if your interested

Please measure suspension ride height from the centre of the wheel to the guard(eye-brow height), this allows for the variables of owners wheel/tyre combos.

OK then it matters what kind of Stagea you have. Mine is a S1 C34 and ride height (as defined by Ryan above) is 340mm front and 350mm rear. "Slamming" it to the ground is usually a cosmetic choice as it gives you stuff all suspension travel and puts extra wear on driveline components.

Have to agree with Garett on this one as have the same suspension on the m35. Had an R33 which was really low with Tein shocks and apart from h/ways any other road would loosen your fillings in the end sold the car couldn,t stand it.

I have an S2 C34 which is currently running a 340 front and rear. Personally I'd like to see it down to the 320mark.
