The Nissan 240 in the latest Import Tuner just added a set of JIC's, They said they were good, somewhat bumpy, but that's with any lowering job............. I know, Import Tuner is gay, but it was a nissan article.
for me i gonna be settling down with the TEINS SS ... i prefer them because they are really good and not as expensive as Advanced Design and a few others and are not noisy like the GC ones ( i believe )
about a week ago i got the tein ss dampers the car was really low and the inside of the tire was scraping the lower spring seat so i brought the car up about 2" and now it handels pretty dam good. but i really need camber plates, will the stillen camber plates fit, if not what can i do. i need to fix the camber.
it had no wheel gap, maybe like a 3-3.5 inch drop i guess. the ride was really bad. i am just finding out about these pillow ball mounts are they like camber plates? how much are they? anybody know.
patscott what do you mean the fronts are camber plates. i just found out that tein does not make pillow ball mounts for the b14. so i hope the stillen plates will work cuz the gc's look dumb. anyway i think camber plates will help because the tire is leaning in word toward the shock / so if i get camber plates it will bring the tire back straight up and then the tire will clear the lower spring seat. i hope.
Tein does not list them for the B14, but the JN15 ones will work. The front Tein pillowball mounts allow camber adjustment(same way as $tillen plates). No, adjusting your camber(with plates) will not stop the rub on the spring. Like I said above, using plates to adj camber does NOT change the spring-to-tire distance. It will move the tire and the strut together(since the knuckle is bolted to the strut). The only way/place a camber adjustment would stop it is at the strut-to-knuckle mounting point. You would have to put positive camber into it down there to get more spring-to-tire clearance. Positive camber is BAD for performance. Your problem is that you are running them too low and/or to wide wheel/tire setup and/or improper wheel offset. Wheel spacers or proper offset wheels would be the best fix. Besides, for performance, ride quality and damper life you shouldnt be running them set to full low. Pretty much the best setting would be 2"-2.5" down which IIRC is about as high as the SS will go in the front.
