will it go lower? pic included

[GORILLARILLA21`]

I just put my front coils on.. Nervous on how high it is.. I lowered it all the way after realizing it looked lifted.. There is no engine in it. It will have a ka24de. Will it go a lot lower? (I wanna have my tire at least to the fender) :thumbup:  off the top of my head, the spring is rated at 215.

Excuse the mess, I was just excited to get the front on the ground. Well, was until I saw it this high  :rofl:

[wayno]

Yes it will drop quite a bit with an engine in it.

So those are the wheels Jrock redid. I saw the Jilbas in his shop. 

 

 

And to answer your question, the front should come down quite a bit after throwing an engine in it. 

[MikeRL411]

First put the engine or its equivalent weight in the front! Then ask if it will go lower. You can't set clearance until you have finished dicking around.

Yes Jon did a great job on them! I was going to stand on the crossmember until I realized I weigh 160lbs soaking wet :sleep:

[Tristin]

John does fantastic work. He did my MKIIs and MKIIIs along with a billion other items I keep sending him. Glad to see them on the car.

That's a pretty sick dime.

I don't know how much it will drop but I'm sure it will droped a ton.

A friends e30 slammed once he dropped in. lol

i am too busy tomorrow to bring my 240 lbs over to help......if the rear was on  the ground that would help too.

[Dattokai]

A lot of 510s are getting rare wheels.

I love it.

Don't forget, you need to also let your suspension settle quite a bit too. 
I threw coils into my friends miata and over the coarse of 2 days it sat about another 1.5-2 inches. 

[jrock4224]

Ill let you know Jon. And I'm confused on my brakes as well.. The guy sent me "280zx" brakes and pads but I had 280zx struts with the brakes and his pads fit mine, but not his. And mine don't bolt up to the struts. There's like a 2 inch gap so I'm not sure what the hell he sent me.. -.-

[GORILLARILLA21`]

Unless there's 2 different generations of the brakes.. But I couldn't find anything on it.

[jrock4224]

no sounds like maybe z brakes but not sure on that .... maybe start a thread inthe brake section or post a ststus upate that links this thread mentioning the brake differences and an a need for help identifying it ...

[Tristin]

Pictures of the struts and calipers would help us ID them. 

[GORILLARILLA21`]

Ill snap a few pictures when I get off tomorrow morning.

[GORILLARILLA21`]

For sure 280zx brakes that i got from pick a part that has a 1.5-2 inch gap when bolting on:

What the guy sent me with those coilovers that are supposed to be 280zx brakes but don't know what they are..:

[jrock4224]

those look to be a newer caliper.....where and how did you source the coilovers and these brakes... I would file a claim if it were me....at least contact him and be like .... hey so yeah no cool bro

[bananahamuck]

Maxima maybe.
