HEKT1K Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'm just after a bit of advice with suspension, tyres, guard work etc. *Rims are 18x9 +30 all round, with 235/40 front and 265/35 rear. *Suspension is Tein Super Street, 4kg all round. *Rear guards have the lips rolled, fronts are not done (yet) and have only the upper guard liner remaining I'm finding that I'm getting a bit of scrubbing on the front, whilst leaning through some corners and turning corners that are downhill/off camber. Basically i'm looking to have no wheel arch gap if possible with this setup, and not have heaps of scrubbing (i can put up with a bit during U turns and the like) Obviously rolling the front guards is on my to do list - will this fix everything at a height of say 330mm tyre to guard with a 235/40 tyre? Do i need harder springs? I'm also looking to upgrade the swaybar, how much body roll will one of these eliminate? As for the back, I'm assuming I will have a bit more room (haven't put the rear coilovers in yet). I'm also looking for a similar height. Can i still run the 265 tyre at this height with just rolled guards? I'm willing to go back down to 235 if need be. Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
alr33x Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 265 is a big tyre for a 9" rim you wont need it. rears will fit piss easy though fronts just roll and remove lining if need be could be cos suspension is so soft im on 8/6 and front rubs although its pretty low. roll should fix all your problemo's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5644531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 4kg is soft as! I in the front add a touch of camber or lip the guards Drop a tyre size too as 265 I a bit big. 245/255 at max on a 9in rim Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5644677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEKT1K Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Ok cheers guys, will get the fronts rolled and all guard liners removed. If it keeps happening i might upgrade the springs to 6kg or something. I'll see how the rear goes, hopefully when it cambers in it shouldn't rub. Next tyres will be 235, the 265s were way too expensive Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5644884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEKT1K Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 This is where the fronts are at now... is this low enough? Could I get away with lower? Car is not a 'daily' as such but it is my only car, and does like to get driven reasonably hard now and then so not looking for epic lows Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5650072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpletool Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If you have stock sway bars then upgrading them will make a big difference when cornering hard. ie. you will lean less and therefore not rub as much.

HEKT1K Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Great, thanks for that Daniel. Do you think i need to bother with the adjustable ones? It's only a street car after all, i was thinking just a heavy duty one would do the trick.

alr33x Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 could go lower but if your happy with it just leave it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5650259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEKT1K Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Well i would like to have no/minimal gap (can wedge fingers in there currently)... will give guard roll and swaybars a crack and see what happens Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5650269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEKT1K Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 BUMP Just chasing some 6kg Tein springs to replace the 4kg fronts on my super streets, which i can source easily enough, however i need to know the exact dimensions etc. I had a look at my current springs just now and could only see CO40 IJC written on them, this doesn't match up with Tein's part numbers however Does anyone have another part number for 4kg super street springs? This is the site I will be using to order new ones http://www.tein.co.jp/e/price_list/standaridized_springs.html Thanks Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/351926-calling-stance-minded-individuals/#findComment-5681893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrd-hr30 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 just buy springs locally. King Springs or whatever. All you need is the measurements. Will most likely be 65mm ID, then all you need to know is the free length. Kings work in lb-in though. 6kg = 335lb. Kings will have 325 or 350lb.
