What's the offset on those rims?

 

Yep, I have the same offset and tires on all 4 corners, but the 15mm Z1 spacers with extended lugs in the rear makes the front +15 and the rear +0. I need to dial in my BC coilover ride height in the rear. I want to go about 1/2 inch lower but they are a PITA to get perfect Plus I haven't even SEEN my Z in at least 2 weeks since we're so busy and I work nights and the condensation/rain/both plus a dusty lot makes it look like my Z was mudding so I just leave her in the garage

What are your wheel/tire specs?

 

Should have ordered from our vendor, direct from the manufacturer, they beat any price.

 

I know your pain, I run summer tires year-round in Flordia where it rains hard. I'm sure you know these cars are not fun in the rain/wet with the additional mess.

My wheels are oem wheels with +20mm on the front and +25mm on the rear. The front and rear are pretty much flush with a little camber in the rear.

You're not going to slam it, are you? Since you have adjustable coilovers, it's worthy of a corner balance and practical ride height. It looks awesome as it is now, or in the picture.

 

...and you are? I have a project car that will need plenty of body panels.

 

I will NOT slam it, no. It's already plenty low imo. I've posted pictures of what I GUESSED the ride height to be when I first installed them. THAT is slammed for me and idk how anyone could be lower The fronts rubbed over big bumps and I scraped front/side/rear of my INGS when leaving my alley and garage.

The picture I attached before had the rear wheel on a slight bump which made it look perfect imo. But on level surfaces it has a 1/3rd of my fat finger gap. I'd like to find a happy medium.

I don't know too much about corner balancing but I don't have adjustable endlinks on my Hotchkiss sways and they are just OEM style coils so I'm not exactly "track ready" hahaha. Even if I did want to corner balance, Idk of any shops in this turd town that could do it. I can't wait to move to KC within a couple months!

 

Your Z is pretty low as it is and the side skirts probably make it look lower than it is.

Slamming is kind of superfluous for a sports car in my opinion, that is the only reason I mentioned it. It defeats the point of having a sports car but to each his own, we do whatever we want with our cars. The owner is the only one that needs to love it.

I only mentioned corner balancing for a few reasons, regardless of if you track it or not, I'm sure you enjoy "driving" your car. You mentioned you have BC coilovers and I'm sure you paid close to $1000.00 right there, it would only make sense to get the most from your suspension and car. At the same time, it might not be worth your time depending on how "in touch" you are with the car. Read into "corner balancing", you might like what you learn.

I'm only hours away from Daytona, Sebring and Palm Beach international raceway. Finding a road-race shop or knowledgeable car people isn't a hard thing for me. I forget I'm spoiled with these amenities lol.

 

My car is not as low as the side shot. It's probably an inch higher than that all around, maybe more in the rear. I just want to even out the rear.

I got the coils from a girl locally parting her car out for 1/2 that. And my car is 90% garage, 5% street and 5% so it's looks and function mixed. I'm hoping when i move to KC so can get out to more twisties and actually put the coils though the paces. I've had them at 22 clicks of stiffness out of 30 and it's firm but still comfy for me. I took it on a 3.5 hour trip today and put it on 12 clicks from soft and it rides about the same as my Mazda 3 (aside from sidewall tthickness). I'm not joking that it's been 3 weeks since I've had it out. Corner balancing will likely result in uneven ride height and im not a good enough driver to utilize it anyway.

I miss socal where everything was 15 minutes away. Especially the canyons.

 

Little update I ripped my lip off last week (railroad tracks that were saw cut and not backfilled) and drug it under my car for a 1/4 mile.

Soooo.... my ings replica lip (replica because railroad tracks) is on its way.

 

LOL ohh the irony we have faced...

A member who paid less than that for the v2. You can save a dime or two.

 

The part was actually $11.00 more than what I paid with the 10% discount of the link. Most of this stuff comes from California, while I'm in Florida, it cost a dime or two to ship it to me. I appreciate the suggestion regardless.

 

Here is the lip test fitted. It's pretty quality plastic and the fitment seems pretty good. Going in for paint this afternoon.

 

this lip looks better post pics after you get it painted

 

Rpf's always look good love the square setup theyre so simple yet they still look so aggresive! I need to get busy building my z ive had it for 6months and only i have a jwt pop-charger but i just dumped my girl sooo parts coming soon

 

Alright guys here is the pics with the new lip and splash guards.

 

Very nice, Jerry. It's looking good.

My Nismo V2 bumper arrived after 26 days, which was then refused as I was completely damaged in transit.

I guest l'll see how their "customer service" treats me in the weeks coming.

 

where did you order those splash guards from?

 

The short story, after nearly one and a half months from the time I ordered, I finally got a refund for the order. Bodykits.com was an aggravating vendor to deal with when it comes to doing things in a timely matter. They offer the same Duraflex bumper that just about everyone has and with that said, I'll go somewhere else next time.
