I was thinking zinc plated as well.

I'm looking into making some upright bushings instead of buying off the shelf ones. I think its about time I figure out how to use the mill and lathe in my garage.

I need to find some S14 uprights here soon.

Finally made my 17x9 +20 w/ 225/45 fit up front. I'm like a cunt hair away from both the coil over and the damn fender. -_-

Also did my fuel pump last night, and then put some 93oct in it today. Car runs and drives so much better. It needs to be timed in, it doesn't start pulling until ~4300ish (s14 ka.) Overall I'm happy with what all I got done, oh and I gave it a bath... It was filthy.

Hopefully Saturday I can get Tommy or someone to weld up my stock-er looking exhaust xD

I dont see how you're having so much trouble with those wheels. Mine fit just fine other than the just slightly rub at full lock. If I had a 245 I wouldnt have an issue.

Spohn Performance :: Del-Sphere Pivot Joints


Since they sell the pieces seperate, you wouldnt have to buy the complete rod end, all the components without the housing would run ya $20 each. Just need to make a sleeve to press into the spindle and machine the inside for the flange for the one side to sit against, and thread the other side for the adjuster.

S13 has a smaller wheel tub and less room, and my coils are maxed out w/ no collars so the spring sits lower. I'm not having a lot of trouble, its just a close fit. Everyone I know w/ s13s that ran 17x9 +20 fns ran a 215/45 and I did before, but wanted to go 225/45 all around.
