Justin, how do the 11" Meisters fit with spindles?

i think what everyone is saying is that their wheels rub when turned to the back. but when you turn the wheel the other way they rub frame rail.
IE: wheels turned to the right, the right wheel rubs LCA, but the left (still turned right) is rubbing the front portion of frame rail.
also, you guys need to hammer that little lip down, if you havent already.. (im sure you have, its common sense) just saying as a note if dudes are rubbing that to hit it.

I've just cut the fender on the top crease where it aligns with the hood, and welded in ~2" of strip sheet metal. Same with the bottom, then simply bend the fender where it aligns with the bumper cover and presto, widebody with OEM lines, for under $50.
The rears get harder, but if you have or can find another car with good rear quarters, cut them out, and do the same thing, just add metal and flare away!

I'm having trouble with my na fc setup. For rear camber how much negative should I run? I'm currently running -1.5. Also I'm running s14 coilovers but in the front it can only max out neg camber -.6 idk if its the way it was mounted. I been running the coilovers for bout 6 months now. I also zero toe front to rear. Thanks

Thanks for being one of the few to fit s chassis coils to an fc. It boggles my mind more people dont do it. Anyway, try zero camber. No kiding. You get alot more control and it makes the car more predictable. You can drive with camber in our cars fine but you might wanna start with zero and add more negative later or vice versa. Just experiment.

Thanks for input. I got the coilovers for free. I decided to use them since I had no money to buy nice ones... The problem is the rear shocks are way long. Trying to find a used s13 pair to have a shorter shock. I've had a bad camber problem till I fixed it with some adjust links to even it out. It was in the rear driver
side -2 And passenger side-4. I'm just putting it out to see if you guys had a simlar problem

Yea s14 is a longer shock in the rear. I've never compare fc coil with s13 I want get. I outlined the top hats of the s chassis and made holes for the top. U can use either 14 or 13

used at dirt cheap prices? FC coilovers (in my area and online) are hard to find by word of mouth and online compared to the market flood of s chassis coilovers that are used and cheap.lol. but, not all of us live in cali. thats what I've found anyway.

i got the mmr camber adjusters. the individual links actually added + camber instead of neg. and its a bitch to put on too. i heard they break easy due to the heim joint connecting to a metal block.

i've also heard that you can only run one to help cut down costs.
alot of roadrace guys do that.
i was looking into the superNOW ones, and they have a straight solid version that look strong. no adjustment though so it seems pointless.
i always have issues with bending the rear toe control link bars. i need to get a legit adjustable set to get my wheels more straight.
