s13 240sx Did any of you guys need to use spacers upon installation of coilovers? I installed my HKS Hipermax D coilovers and they were rubbing against my teardrops, I tried my Volk Racing Evo 3 wheels and they're still rubbing. I guess I'm gon' have to use spacers. Anyone have / had this problem? Thanks |
What offset are the wheels? (Volk's, teardrops may rub if coilover has a larger body) |
That I don't know, the info inside the wheel has been rubbed off. I gave up on it and never tried the rear. The front coils were rubbing against my tires big time. Wheel wise, I only have info for the rear which is 17x9 +37. Is it safe to use one of those bolt on spacers with bolts? I was thinking of buying a pair but I don't know how reliable they are. |
im running 9.5 +11 no spacers and im .5 inch from the spring you should buy some 25mm spacers if you want to be really low http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...90805-1715.jpg |
I believe the fronts are 8's never measured it. would you recommend the spacers with extended bolts? I'm guessing I have to run those for the front. I don't know about the rears though. |
alot of people do it i personally dont because its not true offset but in this situation u need it for now i guess? til you could get better wheels just make sure u get hub-centric spacers h&m brand is the best |
according to some people on bc240, the rears should be fine. I'm thinking of getting 15mm slip on spacers with extended bolts. do you know any place where I can get it locally? |
i would buy that stuff online because our dollar is par and theres always deals on zilvia.net |
yeah I'll check it out tonight, thanks! |
Nice Stance's nismosx!! I just got mine and love the ride quality, but then again I don't have anything to compare them to other then brief rides in other peeps' cars... how you liking yours? |
^^^thats not my car but here ya go :) kouki sides and spoiler gone http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...w/DSCN4706.jpg |
I have a set that I bought from PDM last year, I might consider parting. They're bolt on 25mm. |
after seeing that pic, I wanna paint my evo 3's gold now 25mm is too much for my front. I'm looking for 15 - 20 mm, thanks though. |
finally picked up 15mm spacers. installed the coilovers, tried the spacers with the wheels I have and they don't clear. the stock studs hit the back side of my wheels. my wheels are 4/5 dual bolt pattern. any help? |
Cut the studs |
that's what I was thinking too, but safety wise, should I? |
Well, the nut can't grab any more, right? |
well since I have 4/5 lug dual bolt pattern wheels, the spacers I think were meant to clear ONLY 4 lug wheels. |
Make sure you check the adjustment nut and bolt on the bottom of the coilover... you should be able to adjust it a little. I had the same problem when I mounted my nismo LMGT4 wheels. Either way, get an alignment when you are done dicking around. |
haven't driven my car for over a week coz it was making some clunking sound, checked it out today. sure enough, my left coilover rod? cracked in half so now I'm screwed. is there any way I could rebuild it? or do I have to buy new ones? |
