NISSAN (180SX) 薄衣正則
神奈川 Prefecture
This 180SX stands out with its aero parts: fixed-headlight conversion, WAVE rear spoiler, TBO under spoiler, and aero mirrors. It is also equipped with a WAVE muffler, R32 fuel pump, Blitz T-SBC, and more.

The suspension is dialed in!
Suspension
Shocks: Shop Runner original coilovers (F 10 kg / R 8 kg). Wheels: SSR Reverse, front 7.5J × 15, offset −5; rear 7J × 15, offset ±0. Other: pillow-ball stabilizer and pillow-ball tension rods. Owner: “The coilovers are based on Sakari Racing suspension and are ideal for drifting.”

Suspension setup
Shocks: WAVE coilovers front and rear. Wheels: front Longchamp XR4, 7J × 15, +11; rear SSR Reverse, 15-inch. Owner: “I use M7 tires at the front, but the rear tires have almost no grip. I haven’t settled on a wheel choice yet.”
Yamamura’s 180SX SilEighty really stands out. She has mainly modified the suspension. “I’m proud of the Arist floor mats,” the owner says.
The exterior is kept close to stock.
