Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Could people with 19's & tein springs please post pictures of their car for me please. Thanks :grin: Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Shaun, same wheels as the ones we supplied on your Zed, on this link, on the Azure blue zed, which is lowered on Teins - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/32711-rota-gtr-wheels-%e2%80%93-350z-fitment-from-cougar-store/ Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 Cheers dudes. Think that looks low enough for me now. Ideally I want a lip too so don't want to be too low. Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Shaun, as you know I've recently fitted Teins and I guess they're still settling at the mo, but I've not had any issues with my lip on speed bumps etc (yet). I think the main problem (if it can be called a 'problem') with a lip, certainly the Nismo style one like mine, isn't the fact of how low it is (as it isn't really much, if any lower than the OEM bumper), more the fact of how far it pokes out to the front. If you're going up or down a slope, it'll effectively hit the slope a little bit sooner, as it's 'extended' the nose of your car. Difficult putting in words - I hope you get what I mean!

That is a good point, one that I have failed to think of when considering a lip! 1 Quote
370Ad Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I couldn't rock an aftermarket lip on mine as i wouldn't get in the local shopping centre car park. Don't know how some guys go lower than the Tein's as my standard lower front lip is ruined! Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I've scraped my lip in a couple of multi storey car parks when going down the exit ramps, but generally don't have to many issues. I got mine from Tarmac and it's made of a flexible material which helps and is forgiving if you do catch it. I think some of the cheaper ones on fleabay are fibreglass and/or resin, so could shatter if faced with something solid. You're welcome to have a gander at mine if you're going to Japfest. My springs will have well and truely settled by then too! Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 I've been eyeing up a carbon nismo one lol. To be honest I don't think I really go anywhere with big slopes to contend with. I'll see what those Teins I'm watching do & maybe make a bid lol. Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 You're spending far too much time on the bay Shaun I know exactly which two items you're watching! Quote
kris Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 I couldn't rock an aftermarket lip on mine as i wouldn't get in the local shopping centre car park.: I assume you mean the oracle? Not lowered car friendly! 1 Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 You're spending far too much time on the bay Shaun I know exactly which two items you're watching! I'm sure you do. Lol. One of which has been put in the spotted on fleabay section already hasn't it? Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah, buy the seller himself. Might be worth making an offer (as a fellow forum member) - it'll save him 10% in eBay fees. Worth a try Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 Oooo I didn't realise that :grin: Cheers dude Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Yeah if you look at the eBay sellers other items, he has a Zed listed too - which is also in the Zeds for sale section. Think the eBay listing originally had a BIN of £125 plus p&p, but you can get them from Camskill for £135. I'd make him a decent offer dude. (Mention you're a forum member). It's a gamble as its a no reserve auction, so you could both potentially end up happy Quote
Shaun1982 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Posted April 17, 2013 I sent him a pm on here, he's replied with a figure but im just waiting on another pm about a splitter lol. No doubt will come when it's too late though Quote
14N Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 Well, I'll keep my figers crossed for you bud Hopefully you'll be wearing a skirt soon....... And as requested, I took a piccie just for you Springs have only been on 4 days, so may still settle down a little. But I'm on 19's with Teins. 2 Quote
