No prob man, got them on ebay from UK, 172 euro plus 20 or 30 euro for delivery,
You can buy them separate but they won't fit standard rods, their cheaper than standard ones from nissan......

Awesome haha!!! Big pics FTW!!! :D


Only minor thing I'd say is get some spacers on all four rims just to get them to sit nice and flush against the wide arch kit dude... but love the colour, the kit, the whole package :thumbs:

Had spacers on the old wheels and one of them broke 2 studs, don't trust them anymore so i got these wheels with an et12 offset

No all you get is the 2 rods, 2 ends and a few lockings nuts,split pins.
Everything you need unless your boot is split....

What spacers did you have? I'm surprised... I ran H&R 15mm hubcentric spacer kit on my old S15 Spec-R and did numerous drift/track days plus going all the way to Nurburgring and putting in 10 hard laps and they never caused problems......

I think with spacers a lot depends on quality, brand and whether you are using the proper longer studs that should be included with all spacer kits above 5mm (or if you have the bolt on types with their own studs attached etc) :)



I'm not saying you weren't using decent spacers but I'd be surprised if you put on a decent brand and it snapped the studs???

Looks nice mate

You need to sort your stance out. Your wheels do not look like et12. How wide are they? I rekon your going to need 10 - 12jj rims. Spacers only break if you buy **** ones. I run 25mm H&R and 25mm driftworks spacers and do regular drift days and they are bullet proof, make sure you get hubcentric spacers.

My xd9's are 18x10jj et+18, now that i run 25mm all round, it makes et-7 all round :) I have 40mm front fenders and 30mm rear fenders.

Once you sort the stance out your car will be epic mate! (not a fan of the rear lights either but personal preference i guess)

The kit does look like the vertex ridge kit, the same kit that Phil Morrisons s15 runs.

You have the best colour s15 also ;)

Thanks guys, the spacers were on the car when i got it so dunno what make they were, it had gold ultralight rims they were 8.5 et35 with 25mm spacers, the new wheels are 9.5 on front and 10 on the rear with et12 all round.

Might look into getting 10 or 15mm spacers with longer studs, don't want the wheel catching the arch on full lock, i've seen it happen with a mate of mine:(

To tell you the truth richy I was thinking of changing the lights just don't hav the money at the moment, anyway that's at the end of a long list of things i wan't to do with the car

like....... more power, 2-way diff :D

Nice car:thumbs: looks similar to mine..
vertex ridge kit you have there.. but im not sure about the font bumper..

im running 9.5 et12 and mines alot flusher to the arches.. i think you probably have crazy camber on your wheels.

Thanks man, yeah the bumper is not part of the kit,
I was under it the other day and noticed the bumper had a piece muolded onto either side.

thier is alot of camber on the rear, the camber arms are set in to the last

I hav to get the wheels lined up so i'll get the camber sorted then.........cheers
