    hey matt, its just a GTR that i had to cut in half kuz the r32 gts is not as wide, then i added some fogs in the corners and blocked off the other whole so you cant see through. and thanks for the tip on the helper spring, the gap is max an 1 inch of gap from the spring to the top hat. so i'll need a tiny helper spring lol

    and to the hp44incgtr/ i used to live in quebec for 14 years lol, i just never had this thing. and i know theirs horrible!!!! but some are bad here too, i just have to plan my drive before i set off so i dont run into "obstacles" haha. but i think im for sure done with speed bumps. not really a possibility anymore lol

    Hey man, what you need to do is grab some helper springs for the fronts. I had the exact same issue with my R33. Stance makes them and they work amazingly. Basically let's you slam your car while maintaining the same spring tension. Spring droop to lower ruins coils.

    my car is clearly not ready to be driven yet but its finally on its 4 feet for once. and this how it sits... sucks the front dont go as low as i want em too. i know you guys will say im insane but i have no preload up front, i had to bring the collar rings down. this completely maxed out and im not happy kuz it dont drive good this low kuz it will feel like damn cut springs again so i messaged BC racing and they might replace what they gave me because we were very detailed on what i wanted. anyways. here's a preview of how low i want to drive my car.



    and maybe its hard to tell how low this is...
    this picture i have a 205/40/17

    this side i have a 215/45/17

    and this ^^^^ is pretty much the same as my tipical tire size but if i go 205/40 it would just be for more stretch so when im at full lock theirs less tire that will rub on my fender and i would probly raise it a bit to compensate since its pretty damn low ahah

    Ok fine maybe I didnt choose the right words, and yes I'll be running 3 or 4 neg camber front for drifting and 0 rear for grip while drifting. I have all my camber arms, just havnt put them in till I get new coilovers to set the ride hight to where I want it too be. And I understand the function of low as drifting goes haha, and I need a small tire to stretch so it doesn't rub on body but the wheels can still poke when I'll want bigger tires I'll just bigger rims as well haha. Like my goal is 18x11 with 255/265 stretched I can't wait to post up pics almost rim tucking those size wheels!!!

    I wouldn't go as far to say this is simply for looks, there is a certain amount of method to my madness. The reason I run so much negative camber in the front is when I'm at full lock hanging it out through a corner, I want the most of my contact patch. When at full lock the wheels are leveling out and I'm actually getting more traction than if I had had zero camber in the front. The rear is obviously a little different depending on your fitment and goals. I've managed to stay pretty low and flush while maintaining low negative camber, I just had to sack up and pull my fenders. That's why this season I'll be running over fenders so I can tuck in the rear with lots of rubber and zero camber.

    Please no haters. I respect traction and function but if you have nothing good to say about this thread pleAse say nothing at all. Were not pursuing the same goals, it's just simply looks. And thanks for others who keep sharring their rides. Keep the pictures going, and Adam that's a good looking car!
