Didn't notice until today but the rear wheels seems to be at different heights.
Basically i can put one finger between the upper tire and rim and there will be a bit of room.
On the other side putting one finger between the upper tire and fender make it "stuck" I guess?
And there you can notice the difference as well. more tire is hidden behind the fender compared to the other one.
I felt no difference while driving though.. any inputs ?

Adjust your coilovers from the bottom mount, this is why you bought coils, they're adjustable

Do you know if those wheels will clear the ls400 brakes on a sc?

KayGeeCee

Okay, cool. That's what I thought but I wasn't too sure.
And to Drakes, I'm not 100% sure but I THINK i saw a post where someone had to get spacers to clear the brakes. Not too sure though, I'm sure someone else on here is 100% sure on that.

Kgc, I definitely urge you to go mangaflow! I have a custom exhaust with mangaflow mufflers, tips, and high flow cats, and I love it. Great quality stuff.

KayGeeCee

I'll look into it . Right now I was just going to go mufflers for now. and to be honest I have no clue
what the other parts of exhausts are. Like what are high flow cats? And can I just get mufflers? and
eventually go for other exhaust parts?

Right now my dad is also into modding his car, and he just got a magna flow muffler for his 280zx turbo and all it seems to do is make it a lot louder. (Which I like) Though he claims that it gives him a little more horspower

You can definitely do just mufflers... You don't get any power, but it looks and sounds better. Custom piping is dirt cheap though, you should look into it at an exhaust shop. High flow cats are just smaller catalytic converters, but they don't pass smog so unless you're willing to jump through hoops, don't bother... It just opens everything up a little more, nothing major.

KayGeeCee

How dirt cheap are you talking?

Im using Magnaflow mufflers (part#14834 ) with custom 3" piping from the cat back. I love them and they sound good. I still haven't had the time to get a sound clip. But i will try this week to get one. You can check out how they look on my car in my build thread. The link is in my sig.

Thanks for the link. Gave a lot of help on me looking into exhausts. Most likely I may go with new mufflers and eventually get a more complete exhaust system.
Other plans I'm looking to do is to add strut bars (Any help on these? I've looked around on clublexus and found some SC4's with certain strut bars. I forgot which one I thought was good though.. lol)
Do some BFI mod. I've heard getting a CAI isn't worth the money and that BFI mod is much better. Though I can't really trust myself doing such simple things, haha.
And hopefully maybe late next year or likely the year after to do a manual swap with a W58.
Right now I'm doing some minor research on manual swaps, no clue what certain parts are for and all that good stuff. There's a bunch of junk yards only about 10-15 minutes away from my home so I can probably try and look around for a tranny from an SC300 or something one day.

ALSO: about my dumb *** hitting the wall with my bumper. I figured the paint isn't TOO bad (Gave me an excuse to put a bandage decal on there lol.) But the misalignment with the bumper to the trunk bothers me the most. I was quoted about 315 for a respray and alignment. But I was going to just do a realignment for 90 bucks. Just save myself some money that I figured could be used for more important things. Any thoughts on this?
