yeah, I have 7 inch wide rims with 40 offset... the rim protector on the tire is the only thing that rubs on the suspension. So I'd prossibly need spacers for the rear. I'm thinking of putting larger fender flares on the car and getting a lower offset which will give me room to play around.

Did you need rear wheel studs?

This is what I have been considering for my car for awhile, once I get the cash the plan it to put coil overs on. You understand why I can't have my car that low in the barrie area in the winter :|.... Ren doesn't seem to get why I like how high my car sits for the winter months lol.

wow... 7.5in.. And i'm worried about not being able to fit 205 tires on a 7...


Should i be getting 15x7's? It doesn't seem worth it to me since it's like 3 lbs extra on the rim for only 0.5in.

I have 205/45 on my 16 x 7 rims. Only thing I suggest is NOT getting 40 offset, go for 38 or lower

I vote "yay" for K-Sports. The Spec V crowd swears by them, and my buddy had a set on his Spec. Very nice suspension setup (although much cheaper for the Sentra for some reason). And that's why I wanted a AE92 again Ren, I was gonna slam a sedan and see how far I could pull those fenders out. I was thinkin' like, a 30 offset on some 8's, but 35 wouldn't be too much a difference, I just don't want to tack on fender flares.

AE92

Hmm.. my JIC magics are taking forever to be shipped to California... Customs at the border of Canada are a bit too strict -_-.

Anyways. I was just wondering... What better? The JIC magics for our AE92 gts or the KSPORT.

I got the JICs for about 900....but it's used w/ 10,000 km on them.

I'd be able to get the ksport FAST for about 600shipped ....

Watcha think? =p

AE92

Guess the obvious answer in KSPORT =p

So now.. which is more worth it...Ksport Kontrol pro for $750 us shipped

Or Ksport GT Pro for $1100 shipped. ( 1100 is A LOT ... 750 seems so much more affordable to me ) but.. the 1100 comes with the inverted monotube that's supposed to last longer and also has better response. Is it worth it to go for the inverted monotube? (This is a daily driver for the most part)

THANKS!

I dont know which ones I have but all I can say is its friggen stiff as hell in the turns... I think its the Kontrol pro's... I'd say save your money and get the cheaper ones... as long as they are 36way adjustable you'll be good.

Not sure.. but I remember seeing some AE82 guys trying to start a group buy of K-sports for their car, K-sport will make them if there are enough people interested.
