Springs

[Mr Revhead]

never heard of them!

well they arnt exactly low cars to start with...

[92GTApex]

what are they standard, about 150mm ground clearance?

Logan

[Mr Revhead]

dont know. i dont think mines stock. but mines no where near that and its not much lower than most others.

any one out there got a stocker and willing to measure?

[Sanxta]

are we talking ae101s here? mines stock i will measure it if you want

[Mr Revhead]

yup ae101s
yours is s/s isnt it?
can you measure the distance form the chassis to the ground?
say at the back just in front of the rear wheels and just behind the fronts?
oh and gap from guard to tires?
cheers!

[Sanxta]

yup im a super-slut

i will measure it soonish and post it up when i get back!

im rolling on 195/50/15's if that makes a difference . . .

sweet,

BRB

[Mr Revhead]

nah stuff all diff.

Tha spring company u are talkin of is B+G springs not H+G and they are distributed in auckland by autolign/shockshop/bnt.

Have just come across Tein Type S springs, these look like quite a good option, come in soft (Still firmer than std) and medium options for virtually all 101 and 111 variants....interestingly enough they have different rates for S/S BZ's to normal BZ's, different rates for Carib, different rates for 101's to 111's etc....basically a JDM company making specific springs for JDM cars possibly a perfectly simple solution!

[phat_levin]

has about 85mm clearance at the lowest point which isnt too bad

isnt that illegal? i thought the lowest you could go was 100mm?

[TRD Man]

Yes it is. And it's quite a big fine if you're caught.

[riley_21]

i got a ae101 trueno with standard ride height its s/s an its 170mm behind the front wheel and in front of the back wheel

[ChaosAD]

Would custom made linear rate replacement springs be comparable to coilover springs?

Ie would a 220Lb replacement spring handle the same as a 220Lb coilover spring if the same shocks are used and the ride height is the same? or does the length of the spring influence handling aswell?

Only on chassis parts - you're sweet if your body kit / exhaust is 20mm off the ground.. how long they last is another matter of course...

[phat_levin]

dam, my chassis sits at like 95mm but thats only at like 2 small points.....

Unfortunately that is to a structural point
It is how i brought the car, and hasnt been questioned on a warrant, possibly due to being on 15"s and not looking that low

I'll second Jamex springs being way too soft - the 50mm drop Jamex I have in my Integra are anyway.

It's not just chassis. Any structural part, or any part to do with steering or suspension.

..so basicly, clearence between sprung weight.

so that'd be a little bit illegal ... kind of like being a little bit pregnant
