i think im leaning more towards just buying 2 more 245's, theyre only 130ish a piece. but we'll see. ive always thought staggered tires are pretty gay on anything front engined, no real reason to stop thinking that now.
and, my sway bars arent adjustable, and i dont have the stock ones anymore, and, wayyyy too much hassle to swap them.

Anyone know where i can buy a sort of leather/pleather/vinly type of fabric in black that would match/go well with a s14 interior/door panel type of material etc.?

I'm trying to cover some pieces in my car. I'm guessing my first stop should be some place like jo ann fabrics.

Tons of options, its about what you actually want and what price you want to pay....I just bought about 6 yards of fabric for my Q. If you just want some faux suede or leatherette you can get that at Jo Ann.

Put about 60 miles + on the Sentra last night. Everything seems good so far.

That seems like it should be a good setup for those tires, like chome said, just at light throttle you may see understeer. But probably hardly any at all. I have 6.5" fronts so I'm in a different boat but i just have stifff dampers, -2ish front camber, slight front toe, and super dorifto camber out back (-5-6) but that is easy to change if im trying to grip. And I rarely see understeer.

and i also put the new tires on my wheels. Better fit due to the slight stretch, but still quite hideous

Now I gotta clean my car out. It has been sitting for three months and has about three months worth of empty pop bottles, granola bar wrappers and lots of other crap.

You have no tire on the ground in the rear, to induce understeer. Take all that camber out, and put the whole tire down and see what happens. Because I highly doubt Tim is running anything close to the camber you are.

I ran a stagger one time, on my rx7. 215-235/40/17, understeer wasn't too bad. But it was more than I wanted, I ended up going with 225/45 all around. Which is the same thing that I run on my fns now.

Once I get the SR into the car, Im going to start coming to grip events. Because then my car will have enough power to move. Maybe then I can put my input in.
