I am in the market for slicks and i wanted to see everyone's clearance and general suspension height so i know what to expect and what to look for.

if you would, show a pic of your overall car, then another of the front from an agle showing fender gap. Please post your slick size and wheel offset if possible. also, suspension setup if it is a street car. Thank you.

slick clearance...whats that. im in the middle of choping my car apart to fit the 28's a bit better.

its getting cut alot more than this... if you look at the lower latch for the door, we are cutting it back to there..and than going upwards..
basicly tubbing the car for 28 inch slicks.



everything to the left of this bar is being cut off.(left on your monitor/ passenger side of vehicle)

 

You said you're cutting everything to the left of the bar off, i'd check with nhra about that first, i don't think they'll go for it. I'd hate to see you finish and then have to weld it back on!

 

WOW.. that's all i can say

no, i'd also like to say I envy you in every way possible, haha

Nice man, very Nice

-Erik

 

here ya go.it tool a pretty good bit of work to get them to clear ,but they do.the car also needs more -camber when it sits this high.

kennys car is very similar, isnt it?

its getting cut apart, than re finished..gonna put some sheetmetal running from the tubes to the frame rail. i want to make it really clean looking.

 

 

that is BEAUTIFUL. damn thats beautiful. very nice work man.

hey turbotyper, what kind of suspension are you running? i am wanting to do exactly like that with my car since it is still a street car. also, what size slicks and wheels? thanks a lot... i'm sure i can think of more questions but i won't bomb you all at once. hehe

i use adjustable springs with 900lb springs in the rear(track only).kybagx shocks and that is pretty much it.the ties are 26x8x15 and the wheels are 15x8 bogarts.

 

ok, as for the wheels. many people run 13 and that seems to be pretty standard but why? is it only b/c of weight? i'm assuming you are running 15" wheels to clear your brakes, is that correct? also, did you have to do any trimming?

-Erik

 

yeah,15" barely clear itr brakes.as far as trimming goes,i removed the plastic wheel wells,hammered in the body seams,and trimmed the inner lip of the front bumper.it still rubs a little if you turn hard

 

thanks a lot for your help... i guess i need to hurry up and get some coilovers and sell these sportlines

thanks again

 

Don't know if this will help, but im running 24.5x9x13 slicks with skunk 2 coilovers. the 13in lensos are 20 offset I think.

On Kenny's there's still material after the tube. They get all fussy when it stops at the tube. Gardella had to weld back the stock pieces on his car.

 

Danny do you happen to have any pics in the wheels well ? Boosted3g got his one with no trimming form what he said. And it doesnt look like you took much off . Also how did you use AGX's on it? did you change the LCA's to GSr or LS? they dont make thme for R LCA"S from what i found .

thats kinda lame, the material to the "outside" of the tube isnt serving any purpose. just gettng in the way of the tires. oh well...back to the drawing boards.

 

all of the trimming is done on the inside of the fender.none of the outside has been touched.as far as the shocks go,the front is the same as a gsr,but the rears are r specific.

 

so nothing was touched thats visible? if so thats nice.
so what did you do with the rears? i know they are R specific and KYB doesnt make an R version , did you leave thme stock ? mine are all stock at the moment

if you want, you can use koni's for an 88 crx. and put a small spacer back there for the spring. reason being the crx shocks are shorter than the R

 

Our's mounted. 8.7x25x13.

 

Nice pair of shoes you got their 275Performance.

M&H All four corners.


It's relatively stock height right now. We'll be using the Skunk2 900 springs in the rear, and Tokico 5-ways. It'll be street/strip. TCI Spool.

 

You got some times on that bad boy.

John@M&H-Hashims

 

I want new shoes.Will be getting some soon.I know were to go

 

Heres a pic of my rex 2 years ago when it was at stock height. these are 24.5*8*13. They used to rub very little when the wheels were cut hard and the weight of the car would shift turning. But now w/ the coil overs i just raise the front of the car about 1/2 an inch higher than stock and have no problems at all.
