to be honest and no offense,
chrome makes it ghetto, not mean.
and if you plan to lower the car, don't go too low, it looks dumb when there is a bump.
if you really want it to be a mean machine, make the car sounds mean from the engine, not the outside. it's nothing mean about the car if it can be smoked by a stock z

He could get smoked by your grandma's cadillac, but that's as irrelevant to what he wants. He doesn't want to upgrade the engine, he wants it to LOOK more aggressive.
I disagree with you in your view on lowering the car as well. Typically the more you lower and widen the car, the more aggressive it'll look.

I've installed coilovers, front and rear camber/toe and rolled the fenders myself. And then dealt with the whole alignment thing. I realize all this, chief. I was speaking in terms of the "product cost" and not so much on every specific detail. In that case let's include the gas cost to drive to each place.

I have a budget of 3k of upgrades
I want to make my 350z aggressive and meaner looking!! Low stance
1.Even drop on eibach sport line springs (2-3in I guess, I want it leveled meaning the rear end isn't higher)
2. Front Bumper (lip)? Will I need side skirts if I get it lowered?
3.How about a rear bumper tuck?
4.Eye lids for front lights
5.chrome rims? 18"
Give me some suggestions guys"how to make a z look aggressive,low and mean"
I do not mind if the parts are knock offs
Thank you

I realize that bro. I've went through the whole suspension thing myself. I'm making it simple for the OP. And only real thing he will need to do is fender roll. Alignment isn't a do or die thing with this drop and spacers are optional. Your missing the point, I pulled a random pic of the springs just to give him an example. Let's not pick out every little detail that's different.

I dont really give a shyt what you did to your suspension. Congrats, you're officially now cool. If you're going to give false information, then get the hell out of this thread. To the OP, search around and look at as many pictures of other peoples cars as you can and you will obtain a taste to your liking.
The guy has a legit point..even if he left off install and alignment. You don't necessarily need spacers or toe bolts, although they should be on the *list*.
OP wants an aggressive look and simply dropping the car a modest amount would be a place to start the process.

Your right, lets leave out any important parts and tell the kid to slam his z without any supporting mods. Hell, why not twin Turbo it and tune the car at 20psi. That's like only $4k. You could have a 500hp plus ride bro.

I think MVP made a good point that you can not achieve the look of the car in the picture for $200.

Varrs, Avant Garde, VMR wheels -$1100
Tires - $800
Coilovers- $900
=$2800, $200 left for rear camber kit.
You can rent a fender rolling tool off ebay for like $40 I think. Do that and then scrooge together a couple bucks for an alignment.

"If you're going to give false information, then get the hell out of this thread"
Is inappropriate and uncalled for. No need to tell someone to *get the hell out of this thread*. It's not *false* info..just might not be as precise as he would like. As far as spacers..that's a judgement call..depends on wheels and offsets. You certainly can START the *aggressive* look without them....and putting em on is not a significant expense. No one is saying that they should leave em out are they? The poster who suggested just the springs was simply saying...*this is a START*..why jump all over him?

Take your POS attitude somewhere else, know it all.
With stock wheels, he wouldn't need to roll his fenders, wouldn't need wheel spacers, and wouldn't necessarily need a camber kit. Yes, these things would make the car look better, but they aren't necessary if he just wanted to install some springs without adding the spacers.
I don't see who you think you are coming in here and being a complete d*ck to everyone, but it's really un-becoming.
