To Lower or Not to Lower?
I was considering lowering my 350Z with the Hotchkis setup as it "probably" will not drastically effect the stock suspension geometry and cause significant tire wear as I don't plan on getting the camber plates. I have an 2006 Touring Roadster with 8K miles and it looks like it has a factory "lift kit".
Enclosed is the hotchkiss "write-up". Any input would be GREATLY appreciated Thank You!!!!
Hotchkis Sport Suspension engineers often discover that factory springs yield too little suspension travel, resulting in a harsh and uncomfortable ride. Hotchkis Sport Suspension Sport Springs, specifically engineered, designed and tested for each specific vehicle, incorporate a tasteful ride height while giving the vehicle a more neutral balance through the corners and without sacrificing ride quality.
For added suspension travel, Hotchkis Sport Suspension includes replacement front and rear bump stops with each set.
Specs
Front Drop: 9/16" (15mm)
Rear Drop: 3/4" (19mm)
Front Rate: 340 lb/in (310 lb/in stock)
Rear Rate: 330 lb/in (350 lb/in stock)

I was thinking of lowering my car too but I already hit going up driveways... I could just imagine dropping it any lower... Plus I have my saleen on a 2 inch drop and I have to watch every and each dip and or driveway... don't want the same with the ZR.
On the other hand... ZR's look awesome lowered... so if you dont mind being extra careful... I'd say go for it bro.
