hey guys im new here and i recently put on my teins street basis on my g and im not satisfied with the drop,. is it true that the springs settles in?? i feel like its till high on the rear.

 

Oh ****
Gdirty you guys related brodude?!

But yeah op, springs settle and will get a bit lower. Your concern now should be spacers. Wheels are too sunken in

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to Driver GDirty! I like the way your coupe sits/looks! Before you consider lowering the backend check how everything lines up if you backed into/over a curb. SLICK sits about 1/4" above most curbs when I'm backing into a parking space. I'd hate to hear you destroyed your exhaust backing into a curb! Want to lower the backend? Take in inch off the rear spring mounts. Remove the springs and mounts, cut an inch off the lip which will put you that much lower. Good Luck and enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the G community! I think it take about a week (2 at the most) for the springs to settle in.

 

hey thanks for the love guys, uhm from the way it looks its slowly but surely settling in, it looked taller 3 days ago lol but yeah im really gonna be lookin at spacers soon, but since u mentioned it do you have any inputs on where to get them? im prolly getting an inch or so,..

 

wait gary are you talking about cutting the springs?

 

God damnit..where are those damn mods with my name change?

 

no he means the spring mount mod. Look it up for the best explanation. Very simple DIY

 

aww ok,. i mightve thrown those away cuz i figured i ddnt need it anymore im using the ones that the coils came in with.

 

ok i did a lil more research on tein street basis and i found something similar on the z forums since everyone is having the same problem with these coils, its similar wit the spring mount mod the only difference is im cutting the spring mount that looks like a puck.

 

i feel like im too sunken in i wonder what kind of spacers should i get for my setup?

 

30mm rear, 25mm front

 

Creative name.

You simply can get a ruler and measure from the inside edge of the fender to the outside the of the tire. 1 inch = 25mm spacer.

Can the tire move out that far without hitting? If it gets nice an close (ideal) you will need to get the fenders moved in a tad so your tires don't get destroyed by the metal (and so you do not damage the fender!). This process is called fender rolling. You will have to call around.

If you get very large 1 inch spacers, you might consider getting your hub studs extended as your lug nuts will be holding on just the tips of the studs at large spacings.

 

isnt that gonna make it stick out too much? i have 10.5 on the rear and 9 on the front im looking at maybe 20mm all around?
