Here is my Z, lowered 1" all 4 corners using B&G springs. You can buy them at Mossy Nissan in Oceanside Ca and they will ship to you. (760) 720- 9797, ask for Greg Vogel

Here is mine with Eibachs, first [icture is before the drop and the second is after the drop.

Also the gap is a lot closer because I have bigger sidewall tires, about .4".

I've got to go with Wildone_106 here. Without the pop cans I wouldn't really see the difference. I'd be afraid of rubbing the wheel wells every time I hit a bump if it was any lower.

For those of you that lowered - do you notice any difference in performance or bottoming out? How about entering parking lots, etc. with high curbs?

I have the Eibachs on, but not stock wheels as you requested, sorry. I will post anyway for your opinion. Yes, I do scrape the occasional speed bump, but the performance gain is way worth it! I have nearly 50,000 miles on them and I would not go back.

Westpac

The camera is higher in the after photo. If you lowered the camera height to a similar level as the 1st photo the cans would nearly be touching the car I think. Whatever, I still think it looks really good.
