patra_is_here Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 spltscsalijsau, more pics of the first car please. Info on wheels/offsets if you got 'em. well i can tell you those wheels are wantanabe 8 spokes. a classic jap wheel. you can get them stateside, and there are companies making knock off. I havent seen them in the proper size and offset for a widebody SQ though. as the offset is available 24mm to 48mm for a 7 and 8 inch wide. which is not even close to a good offset for a widebody SQ http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGK Ignition GReddy Engine Electronics KYB Shocks Ground Control Springs as you can see...i am curious to know about the KYB shocks set-up with Ground Control Springs... what are you curious about? KYB rear shocks are discontinued now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem0ntsi Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 AWESOME! i can't wait to see. just my opinion, don't shoot me for saying this: but i think the right wheels w/right offset and the right suspension is the key... I agree.. the stance can make or break the look of your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 these are his mods: Performance Parts: K&N Intake Custom Exhaust HKS Engine Comps. NGK Ignition GReddy Engine Electronics KYB Shocks Ground Control Springs as you can see...i am curious to know about the KYB shocks set-up with Ground Control Springs... the KYBs would be stock replacements that you can only get for the front now (ALMOST all rear bolt in performance options are gone) and the Ground Control springs would be the coilover sleeve kit that Ground Control offers. I don't have the ground controls, but I do have coilover sleeves that an old school member, artinist, use to offer on SHP struts Here's a pic of my front strut, the Ground Controls are pretty much the same: http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userpics/10030/DSCF5629.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 i can still get them through my a parts company in san diego that has a branch in new jersey. did you need some? nah I got a full set, you might want to reconfirm that you can get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) the car above is Jayton's car front stock replacements for a NON-SHP car are strut inserts, rears struts are full units (which are the discontinued items) SHP cars are a little more tricky, as the stock replacement inserts are not a drop in affair as they are for non-shp cars. you ethier have to mod the SHP housing to fit stock replacement inserts, or swap over to non-shp front strut casings. Then there's the whole MR2 insert "swap"(which I plan to do). the 2nd gen MR2 REAR inserts can be run in SHP housings front and rear (or non-shp front housings, rear SHP) after removing and patching the adjustment knob, and making a spacer (the MR2 inserts are 1.875" shorter) or shortening the housings that same amount. Or you can splurge, and get the Mookee full coilovers. that about sums up our strut options OH, and 88-89 suspensions are the same. so struts for 86-89 (any of those years) TSI or ESI-R (widebody) can be interchanged Derek Edited November 8, 2008 by D_Venable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem0ntsi Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Heres the pics of the SSR's with the tires mounted. Maxxis MA Z1s 225/40 front 245/40 rear. I wanted a 35 series front and back and I dont like how they look on the wheels. I may be selling them if they look bad after I put them on the car. http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa264/jsinaga/mounted.jpg http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa264/jsinaga/4mounted.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 has anyone thought about trying to contact a company like koni, bilstein etc and ask them if they could start carrying shocks for our cars? Doesnt take long to write an e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem0ntsi Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 That would be nice if either Koni or Bilstein did that but as it is I doubt they would do it unless there was profit to be made.. business is business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yea, but if enough people on here write to them, then they might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mech Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 demon, did you have to use longer lug nut studs in the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 With that thick of a spacer, he definately used bolt-on units. As far as I know, there's only one brand available for longer studs for our cars. And neither of them would work with a spacer that thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mech Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) when you say "bolt on unit", do you mean hes using bolts instead of studs and nuts? just asking because he says he listed "Muteki Lug nuts in red" in his thread.
