F%$ing work computer is blocking all the pics on all these threads

 

The offset is 28... You guys are never happy

 

Oh finally I can see the pics. If this lowers the rear a solid 1/2", I'm gonna do it. I want and need 1/2" on the nose.

Looks like I'm gonna be crawling under my car this weekend.

Think I will pick up two of these at the dealer and chop those up and save the others in case something comes up down the road, so I can just swap 'em back out quick like, if need be..

 

It lowered mine a little over a half inch and the best part was even with the nismo kit i was still able to have it aligned

 

So how much total drop do you have on the rear of your car with this mod and your Nismo springs, VS stock?

My Hotchkis springs already lowered the back about 3/4" and with this mod, it would make for a total drop of about 1.25" on stock shocks.

Is dropping it 1.25" on the stock shocks a bad idea?

Think I heard that the shocks will wear out faster but other than that, are there any horrible problems with going 1.25" on stock shocks?

I thought if the car was lowered more than 1" from the factory, that the factory alignment specs may or may not be able to be dialed back in but earlier in this thread they say it's more like anything over 1.5" can't be corrected for?

This will be cool if it's ok to do on my Hotckis springs

 

YES

This is a cosmetic mod.

 

Your shocks will wear out much quicker and you'll just have to buy aftermarket ones eventually.

 

I don't mind the shocks.

What size shocks would I need to use? Guess maybe I would need adjustable shocks? I wouldn't mind having the correct length shocks put in at the same time as installing the shorter bushing and get the alignment done all at the same time.

I just need to know what shocks I need for the rear.

 

can i perform this free mod on a 2003 model?

 

^+1

 

does anyone know?

thanks

 

They can be done on all Zs. They all have that seating. I'm contemplating doing mine to level it up.

 

does anyone know of a shop that can do this?

socal shops...?

thanks

 

Brian, give Steve@Corner3 a call. He did this mod for me back in the day, I thought you already would've known since you get a ton of stuff done there.

 

Or you could do it yourself, takes no more than 5 mins per side

koo, better ask steve to cut it down when i go in for my next oil change

 

i can cut it but i dont have the tools to remove the springs in the first place

thanks for the thread

 

where can I get another set of these "cones" does anyone know the product number?

 

I finally shaved about 1/2" of the rear spring mount to level my Z. I also installed Espelir Active GT springs & Koni adjustable struts. Here are pictures of my Z at the auto-x this weekend. I really liked the way this mod leveled my Z. I still have '06 stock tires & rims.

 

cool thread. after getting the nismo shocks and springs, my handling is great, but aesthetically i feel like i want my car to ride a little lower. i'll probably do this mod when i get a chance, tho i don't know if i'll shave all of it off (maybe do like .25" or so).
