I've seen a few cars around that have a good amount of the tyre sitting outside the guards but whether or not they've been defected for it i wouldn't have a clue. I hope my rims don't look stupid without spacers or else i'm going to put 2 10mm ones at the back anyway.

So i'm going to go ahead and buy a set of S-techs for around $300 delivered which will give me a 1.20'' drop which i should be able to live with. Now my question is, with the +25mm all round offset is that going to be flush with 8.5 at the front and 10 at the back or will spacers be needed?

only you will know, when its all put together. plus it is impossible to know any answer when none of the parts are on the car yet. you cant guess the amount of lowering a spring will give you, and they take a month or 2 to settle aswell

also, dont forget that sub boxes or whatever will make the car even lower

Thought i'd post back here and let you guys know i've gone with Vertini Hennessey rims 20x8.5 + 25 F 20x10 + 25 R. Just put a deposit on them so i should have them next week some time :)

Also purchased a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs with a 1.1'' drop almost 7 days ago but the Ebay seller hasn't shipped them yet.. :angry:

Once i get my rims + tyres + springs i am also going to purchase an SPC rear camber kit to allign the back wheels and put it all on together, from there i will see how far i am from flush with guards but i have seen pics of similar setups being very close to flush so i may even end up throwing 10mm spacers on not sure yet.

I decided to lower the car and put up with the shocking roads, i am in the process of sorting out a work vehicle so my V35 will be kept in my garage and taken out at night/weekends to keep the KM's down :)

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
