Re: R32 Roll Call

Seems like i'm as low as you 24.5" in front and just under 25" in the rear. I'd like my front maybe half an inch lower though.

Re: R32 Roll Call

took this shot with the iphone yesterday, the car looked awesome the way the light was so I had to take a pic. all she needs is some rear spacers and then i think shes good looks wise.



Also how low is everyone running their R? Im static and I measured pavement to the top of each wheel arch and I am sitting 24.5" front and 25" in the back

Re: R32 Roll Call

It all depends how low you go. On PSS9's, you should be good with just lowers. If you're going retarded low, then you should probably get uppers too. I'm thinking I might get uppers eventually. Not sure if I wanna do it yet or not.

Re: R32 Roll Call

I'm running Bluewater Performance adjustable RCA's and I have no complaints. Some people say that they get really squeeky and you need to grease them more often than others, but really for the price that these go for I think its well worth it.

Re: R32 Roll Call

hey guys, what rear control arms are people running?
I finally was able to make time to get an allignment done today after getting coils in a while back and George said I need some RCA's.
Im running 3 degrees negative camber in the back at the moment, because RACE CAR! ahah
any suggestions? I looked on vortex and it looks like alot of people run the mad max, but are there any other good options at decent price points?

Check out bluewater performance, Ben! It's what I ordered for both of my R's!

Re: R32 Roll Call

Dont even worry about it Ben, i'm putting my money on the heat shield over the cats. Its more in the middle of the car and sounds like a full on rattling kind of scrape. I scraped that thing until it finally fell off and started rattling like crazy. Then I had it spot welded back on in a couple places and its been fine since. I still scrape the crap out of it, but its holding strong. If you want, you can always just fully take it off, but I figure its on there for a reason haha.

Main point, dont raise your car...not worth it

Re: R32 Roll Call

Do the line under the center street bridge, not long but enough to hear the roar, let me know, i want to watch and listen.



Cam just blew his oil pan out going into his parkade? Get underneath and see whats scraping. Maybe upgrade to the mk3 steel pan? Only way to be sure is to look for scrape marks.

its not my oil pan, seems to scrape further towards the back of the car

should I raise my car? i scrape something underneath on some speed bumps and some parking lot entrances and exits. Am i scraping anything vital or is it more frame and non important undercarriage?
