That car isn't slammed..it's FAR from it.

I didn't bother to read this whole thread, but it seems like someone is *****ing.

that pic of the black S13 is kinda irrelevant because it is a S13, and S14s can swallow wider wheels, tires. and also just for the record (in case some noob reads this), some people may have the misconceptions that a wider wheel and lower offset equals better handling but like everything else there is a limit and a balance, just like "slamming" your car, these are purely for looks after a certain point and will actually make your car handle worse, especially when paired with excessive negative camber. if you want information do some research on offset, roll center, center of gravity and roll couple

nice car btw, looks a lot better lowered

True however It was used as an example to show that despite using an semi-extreme size and off set other things have to be compromised, The 13/14 fronts are very slightly different and considering the type of shocks he used that difference is not great at all just a few MM

Yeah.....I probably won't go much lower than that for multiple reasons..

Don't want to make rubbing an even bigger issue
I hear too low means bad handling

Watch out for trees?

The motor is bone stock, I have like 130 or so whp hahahaha I couldn't bust through a paper bag!
