ground clearance question..
i know that 350z is pretty low and i have these massive speed bumps in my work parkinglot... they are HUGE and they are double speed bumps.... (very hellish...)
so before the body-kits, did anyone have trouble going over regular-size speed bumps? or does aero-kit give lower clearance??
please give me some inputs..
thanks...

You aren't going to have any problem. Don't worry about it. I have a 10 inch incline at the beginning of my driveway and I can go straight at it and not hit. The tires are so close the front bumper that the bumper moves up with the tires very well. The bump is going to have to 5 inches high or so to scrape the front lip and you have another inch or inch and a half before the bottom of the bumper. IMO

clearence on the Z is 4.7inches, end of story. however I would bet money that the lowest point of the car(where clearance is measured) is the diff in the back, meaning the tires will raise the car over the bump. but I wouldnt expect the next lowest spot(front bumper perhaps) to be too much higher. maybe 5-5.5"?
so basicly, you should be ok, cause that would mean you would need a 5inch bump that the car can rest its wheels around, like a speed bump, not a speed hump where the back wheels are on the bump before the front wheels go off the hump.
hope this helps somwhat, my final answer is measure them, vertical hieght, assuming they are narrow bumps. then if its less than maybe 5 inches your ok. just go REAL slow over them so the car doesnt dip down on the suspension when coming off them.
