and tyre/rim size

Go 200 or higher if you want your car to handle.

the guard is 1cm above the rear WHEEL
with 14's with 175/65's stretched.... the car was sitting pretty much on the tyre (drove for a minute and thought something was on fire... was rubber haha)

Thats with 185 R14 tyres/wheels at the back, 6kg springs at back, 8kgs at front and KYB short-strokes all round. Front is standard AE86 strut length. The Hotwires are (I think) +9 or a bit bigger, the black rims are +too much (my skidders :D ).

Hope this helps :)

what freeheight are those springs keating???

[Gilly]

anything under 200mm free height is fkn slammed, too much IMO

if you are tucking rim they aren't wide enough...

i'll get some specs on my rear springs Brendan, they are AJPS flavoured but i'm unsure on the free height, 230 rings a bell though?

[DRFTPG]

here you go brendan

200mm 5kg ajps springs (cut)
185/60 14's

I have no idea on the free height sorry man, they are standard 6kg AJPS springs.

Should have mentioned that my Hotwires are 7" jobbies, just not enough offset to quite fill the guard. I would love a set of Rewinds in 14", except the killer neg offset may be a little too much at the rear :(

[driftke70]

mine are 215mm 6.2 kg

wheels at rear are 14 x 8 - 6
tyres are 185 60

:wub:

[dr1ft-pig]

cheers guys... i think my only option is to go a 230-240mm spring and chop it if needed :)

i think I'm going to buy some 15s so ill need a lil more clearance

[reuben]

With kings. I have cut a 1/4 of a turn off the spring for now and 8.5" wheels with 14/185/60. (coilovers on the way :D)
