Default Not sure if I should get springs

Contemplating about lowering the silver one...
Just don't want to bend or bottom out the wheels...
Tein was an option but I'm still doing more research...
Waiting for a Veilside urethane lip, already broke as it is...
It's either this or vinyl records...

you have less wheel gap then some people with springs. I would leave it as is, unless you want that slammed look.

yeah i agree. that looks pretty low for stock springs. Leave it as is unless you want coilovers with adjustable dampers to improve the ride

Looks like he's running 20" 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR's. If it is, I think it appears lowered because the combination of the wheel size & the sideskirts. Could you please post a good profile shot? BTW...your Z looks beautiful!

Thanks for the props and feedback Much appreciated...

I've been cruising around this board trying to learn from the experts and experienced ones and have been learnin' alot from here.

Yeah, it's not lowered. When we first got it, it did look lower than the others for some reason. But we stuck with it.. It is a little more bouncier than my other friends Zs I must say.

I was worried that these 5ZRs wouldn't look right but I got lucky. The sizes are 20 x 10 in the rear and 20 x 8.5 in the front. The tires are 285/30/20 and 245/35/20. No rubbing yet but been hearing some sort of "knocking" or "tapping" when I slow down and turn in certain directions. The noise hasn't been coming up all the time but has been happening more consistently than usual.

I've always liked that blue one from "autocarparts.com". Kinda wanted to do a sliver version myself.

Sorry bout the red Xs.. My photography skills suck.
