Default Dropping the car

hey guys, so this is my first post, I bought my 2008 base model 350 about 7 months ago and I wanna do a lot to it, so I'll probably have more posts but my first question is how much can I lower the car without tires rubbing on fenders, I'm putting coil overs in it to lower it, just looking for some advise, pictures of a lowered one is welcome so I can see what it will look like, thanks guys!

Lowering a Z makes it look like


or

wreck the alignments, and screws up the ride.

Just hang a sign on it that reads "I'm a dumbass.", and call it a day.

so many factors. wheel spc, tire size, how fat you and your passenger(s) are, how much junk in the trunk. i dropped mine via eibach prokit, no rubbing, but im also not on 20s.

There are a lot of options out there. Ask for a recommendation.

Ooo OUCH! That's not something we EVER want to see (particularly if you're fortunate enough to use a lift) on a Z!
