  1. thanks rigez, saw your truck yesterday!
  2. Thanks, any pics of your setup (is the one in your avatar yours)?
  3. The stock strut housings are fairly tall. I'm not entirely sure how low he wants to get his car, but getting much lower (as a 205 50 on a 15 has a fair amount of gap) will cause the stock sus to bottom out or hit the bumpstops. A lot of people get coilovers to get the car lower and change handling characteristics, yet still retain shock travel. I'm not saying that its wrong for anyone to go with a spring and shock combo, coilovers can generally go lower without sacrificing as much. In terms of the phrase tucking tire, it's pretty widely used in the fitment scene as getting the top of the tire into the fender at static height. I think it's fair to say that you and I use different lingo.
  4. I'm waiting until i make some time to weld up some brackets to get the bumpers back on and clean a few things up here and there to take pictures of it. Theyre 17x9.5, but i'm in a bit of an in between about the wheel and tire combo becuase there are other wheels id genuinely like to have for the car. Other things have greater priority in the mean time though.
  5. Tucking tire as i was using it generally describes getting much lower, which coilovers would absolutely address. He asked about going lower, i'm not at all talking about offset In the name of vanity, here's a picture of my own car
  6. You would probably want to swap out to coilvers. You won't get tire tuck on stock strut housings with that wheel/tire combo
  7. Are there any logos or marks on the back side of the face?
  8. Mine was fairly ugly before i put my full cap on and now its quite nice. Your dash seems to be missing material over the second gauge. The cap wont necessarily replace that.
  9. I've had success with adaware (lavasoft) and spybot s&d
  10. You should be able to at least start the car with the cable disengaged. These helped me a quite a bit when i was trying to get mine dialed in http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=186164
  11. They're real watanabes. An old article on his car mentions these spec - 16x9 -13 (f), 16x9.5 -19 ®
  12. s30/s130 hubs supposedly dont match the s chassis and 300zx ones
