I have one question what chassie is it running? Because if its a gen1 maybe I could hook you up with a gen 1 strut bar that just maxs out the suspension giving it some mean chanfer and solveing your turning problem. If its an evo Id suggest looking under XMD thread for his supra and see if you can copy his front chanfer setup. Or if your not afraid of doing a little body work get some putty and make your own custom front fenders so that you can cut through some of the plastic to make the steering work. This is a really good start to a mean looking project. The 370z can rock flat black.

nice stance. you need camber now. check out my camber mods in my project thread here:
http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/show...t=19308&page=3

and here:

try em out. and of course try sanding the fender thin so that the wheels will rub less. pay attention to the headlight buckets too, because some of that will need to be filed down too.

camber mod is on the chassis and doesn't increase the track width.
the only reason why my track width is wider is because i did the extended wheel stud mod. if you so the camber mod, your civic body will fit just as well as always.

try sanding down the insides of the fenders. Also, make sure u have no toe in or toe out. Some stock tie rods had toe out. If so, you wont be able to steer being that low.

Later, T.I.M
