Nissan Sentra build

[mule.]

here's where is sits right now




I also found out the easiest way to get low is run over a screw:




I'll be getting my new tires and wheels (will be gold or powder coated cream) in the next few weeks, but I'm still not sure how to go lower since my coilovers are maxed out currently (although I haven't touched the spring perches much).. I'd like to drop another 2"...

any ideas?

Well, take out the perches....? what coilovers are you on?

Could be promising.

I think gold would look really good with the flat paint.

thanks guys, I know it's not much now but its slowly coming. I've been trying to think of ways to modify the coilover since that is literally the only thing keeping me from going lower. The new tires should in theory drop it another .7in but I want more..

I'm on TDMI coilovers. If I took out the perches out wouldn't the entire weight of the car be constantly on the shock effectively blowing it relatively quickly? *Noob status right here*

I absolutely love his Sentra, I've seen a few of his threads on b15u. I wish he was willing to share what he did to drop his sentra more. I know his ksports are modified but I don't know with what. I'm assuming a shorter shock body or something of the sort..

Got the new wheels on. Now I have a bit of wheel gap...



Plans: 10mm spacer in the back 5mm up front. Cut an inch off the rear coilovers so I can wind them down further. Remove height perch and lock perches from the front coilovers (leaving the spring perches) since It's spun all the way down. The .5in or so should get rid of the wheel gap I think, but 1in would be perfect though...

This thing has potential

The sticker on the front bumper just about sums it all up.

A few people have mentioned it has potential, what suggestions do you guys have?
What would you suggest to make it less "meh"? I appreciate constructive criticism.

I have a vision, but I'm always open to input

thanks for the input man, I really appreciate it. Bear in mind this is my first car/ first time I've every worked on a car so it's been a learning process and its also early on in its build

#s 1&3 will go together in the near future. I need to replace both my bumpers and finish the body work on the rear quarter panel before though. Some of the stickers are hiding damage. Burgundy is the color in mind atm or a satin OD..

I'm still sorting out #2. I can cut about two inches off the back coilovers and drop it another 2" almost.. but I'm stuck on getting the front low. I've been looking into maybe making a riser for them..

#4&5 I'm not sure exactly what you mean haha
