whats it take to do a wheelie (ka-t)

Post by ka240de »

Anyone ever heard of this ? S13 or s14 , ka-t ?
Im currently going under for a 5 lug setup with s14 subframe and just curious if anyones ever managed to get the wheels off the ground. Stiffer suspension countered with wider slicks ?ill be running those agx adjustable shocks .

If you check out my Video I almost got the wheels off the ground. Maybe if I had coilovers up front it would have lifted. I have kyb gr2 up front and the spring opened up. I seen a sr20 in a white coupe do a wheelie might have been ladder bar or dialed in suspension. 240s are too long to lift

Yeah that's the idea. Soft rear to squat but not to soft cuz negative camber comes into play. Stiff front so the spring don't open. Some wide sticky slicks

You won't get head lift under 600whp using arp. Torque them to 70
