Pics: 06 Roadster with spacers
Looks good, can you post some shots from the back and some close-ups of the fender and tires? And... if you had before/after shots, it would be awesome to see them side by side.
What size are your spacers and where did you get them?

There you go...
Got them from Bryant at Ichiba, great guy to deal with, and fast.
25mm on rears, and 20mm up front.
Takes about 30min to do the fronts, 30sec to do the rears

Thanks for the pics and info - it looks great. I'm thinking of doing the same with my stock wheels when spring arrives and the snow tires/wheels come off. BTW my home town is Toronto and I miss it!

Cant quite determine the ride quality as I REV the car in the garage, dreaming of all the snow outside disapearing !!
But guys, does look waaaaay better, much more aggressive look. That gap was driving me crazy. Perfect for me until I get aftermarket.

Looks great.....but I think the fronts look ok from the factory, its just the rears that look way too tucked in. I am thinking about just slapping a 20-25mm on the rear and calling it a day.
there s a post somewhere of a guy lowering on Tein springs and using the 19 inch g35 wheels and no rubbing. I have purchased the same size spacers as you and am planning on the 18 inch G wheels. Shouldnt run into any issues with a slight drop.
You should be fine with either the Tein or Hotchkis. They are both very conservative drops. The only reason I don't want Hotchkis is bc the new Z's stock are considerably more stiff in the rear and I don't feel like making it softer. Tein is the same but just not as soft in the rear, but they are also progressive springs...compared to the Hotchkis which are linear
