        Quoted for truth, although I think a gts-t's can take a little bit lower before things go wrong, I think It was about 10mm lower.

            not true for all GTS models.
            Real Skyline owners have lost at least one to a freakish accident (*- ω -) = #dungive'a

              I think I fixed what you were getting at Sorry for being prejudice, and forgetting to mention the monster that is, the GTS-4

                I agree with all of you in that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and yes being way to low can hurt performance. All i was stating in my post was that stock bodied cars with out crazy aero kits and over fenders can look equally as cool with a good fitting set of wheels and a good stance. Buy no means is the skyline name being soiled by a few select guys driving around with low cars, its someone styles, no need to get angry about it, i was just hoping to find someone who knows what im saying and can relate that s13s and s14s have a cool scene going on as far as stock aero kit cars are concerned.

                  Very few R32's can pull that off.

                  Everyone has their own opinion on handling height. Handling height can affect oversteer, understeer, braking, etc. It's the whole package (shocks, springs, height of car, swaybars, alignment) that work together.

                      When I got my car it was lowered way too much. I hated it. The steering does become unpredictable and thats not cool. My opinion: Slammed=Gay
                      Dang! You got shocks, pegs... Lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

                          This is my car below. I bought it this way, and it's uncomfortably low. Take it from someone who knows. It's being raised up for next spring...




                          Had another good pic from SkyMeet but showed some other members plates...

                          EDIT: I like my wheel fitment. Hoping I don't develop gaps that are too noticeable.

                            Nismo lower R32 GTS-T 20mm front (5.3kgm spring), 15mm rear (3.9kgm spring) from factory height.
