  • Just Another S13

    I gave up on trying to stance the cobalt since I put 200miles on it a day. So what I have is a POS 240 that should be much easier to stance and have fun with. Plans for this build is to have a fun street car/ 1/8th mile car. Currently it's NA/KA, still short a few parts to be KAT until its time for the 355. As far as the Stance, I got a great deal on the wheels I have so I'm just going to get spacers to set the offset right. I did some research and my 17x9 at +10 w/~3.5 of camber I will be flush with minimal poke. I just got the car and have already dumped a few pretty pennies into it. So sit back and relax and watch my build. Feel free to comment.

    Nice! Depending on the roads over there, if ride on smooth-ish roads 98% of the time, I would probably say PBM's. A lot of people think they're too stiff and some think they're pretty awesome. I've ridden in cars with PBM's a few times and I kind of like it. If you got some rough roads, I'd probably say Stance GR+ Pro's. They're not as stiff as PBM's and they get pretty low. If you want to go real low, I'd say PBM's.I think they go half an inch lower than Stance's

    Also if you wanna look at Fortune Auto's but I don't think they go that low in the front so you need to do some modifying to the coilovers, but I heard they ride excellent.

            PBM is a wise choice sir. I have them on full stiff daily driven slammed to the ground and I love it. I've had stance and PBM in my opinion beats them by far. Look forward to seeing what happens with the car.

                    Yes a small block Chevy, I live in the middle of 4 drag-strips. I can build a SBC with my eyes closed. Which is why I'm choosing to throw it in lol and I'm 90% sure that I can have a nice little 500hp setup for less than it would be for me than building a SR20 or any other one of those little Japanese thingys lol.

                        even tho i feel the small block will throw the weight balance way off, im excited to see u do it. im a big fan of chevy blocks and the torque they can put out. it will be a strip killer!!

                          Why, it's just like the guys putting LS1's in their cars... you can look at it as I'm putting a LSx in mine.... It'll just have a carburetor instead of that fancy EFI stuff lol.

                          It probably will but I'm still going to have fun with it.
