Thread: Supsension Travel Options?

Ok, I've been searching and reading threads for about an hour and I haven't found a solid answer on improving suspension travel on my car since the new setup install. I would really like to raise the rear up about 1.5" as the front is ok.
Here are some links I found during my search.

G20.net - Forums - View Single Post - custom upper shock mounts = more suspension travel for lowered cars

^Anybody ever make anything like this for the B13 guys?

^I'm going to do this to avoid future clunk.

^Only thread I found that came close to what I'm looking to do on here.

Setup:
AGX
Hypercos
ES bumpstops
Front boots all the way around
OEM top hats

Wheel/Tire combo:
205/40/17 - tire
17x7 - wheel

What setup are you running? Hyperco/agx?
you only have 3" to start with so not much to work with..friggin nissan,lol
You are gonna be limited in travel by the struts themselves if so...thats what makes the csk such a good option.
The thing is ,more travel+ more rubbing of tires depending on your setup.Also,axle binding if the car is too low.
When I went from RM agx,to hyperco,csk,I started rubbing up in the rear wheelwells because the rear would bottom before it rubbed,now it will not bottom back there,but it was rubbinng before I rolled the fenders.

I want to say that Shigspeed rear mounts for the B14 (only) did the same thing. Gave you extra travel.

I would be VERY interested in that G20 product for a B13 if it was produced by a reputable company and engineered properly. I'd be in that theoretical Group Buy in a heartbeat.

Other than that, I'm clueless on the fix you are looking for. Never covered anything that addresses your inquiry in the Suspension Thread.

The rear really never bootoms.I wouldnt worry about rear travel.Its the front that sucks so bad.

that's why i made these to get extra travel.

in my case i have less then idea strut spring choice. so it helped me a ton. with you guys with the csk's hyperco's and roadmagnets. i think it would be perfect!

i had to get almost an 1/2 inch of travel back just based on where the strut sat before and where it does now. and i wanna make some taller ones to get even more travel.

I'm assuming you're doing this for aesthetic reasons only, and won't mind the added oversteer. Rubbing isn't your problem I don't imagine?

I'm glad you found Isfahan's thread on his spacers. That's the only thing I've seen done for a B13. It seems to be a decent way of going about it.

^Yes. Hyperco/AGX.



^Yes. I read your suspension thread and didn't see anything in there about travel. I'm with you Shawn, someone needs to make an extra travel kit for our cars. Who could we go to? I really would like this done.



^Yes. Aesthetic reasons mainly, but I'm also getting some rubbing on certain dips and bumps in the road. I guess I need to look into rolling my fenders.

With my spacers I no longer get any rubbing. I think it moved the entire arc of movement of the tire out of the way of the fender, so despite having my car loaded and going over big bumps, nothing. This rubbing was with the 195's. I'm curious to see what happens when I put 205's back on it. However, the spacers I made do not add any suspension travel to the strut, but I think blackb13se-r's method does.

I'm looking to gain an 1" maybe even a 1.5" in the rear. Do you think you could make some more?

i don't 1 inch tall ones as a problem in the rear since it's under the seat.

i got someone else to make it for me maybe nismo sentra can make them as he was interested in them too. maybe he has a welder. i don't. which sucks. cause i know if i got more guys using them it would be profitable. for everyone.
