i put in my megan racing coilovers friday night ,in my 2006 350z

probably lowered the back 3"
probably lowered the front 4"

no rubbing at full turn left and right

no rubbing thus far at all

driven about 20 miles since lowered


rear measured 27" front 24 "

sittin on factory 06 18" wheels

 

Oem ride height on 18's according to the FSM is

Front: 26.9"
Rear: 27.8"

Are you measuring the same exact way the FSM does?

 

didn't know the megan coilovers could go this low... do you have any pictures of your car?

 

from factory i can put 3 fingers between top of rear tire and bottom of well
can't put 1 finger now in the rear

from factory i can put 4 fingers between top of front tire and bottom of well
now well is 1/2 way down tire side wall in the front

so i know i got at least a solid 3" rear drop and 4 " front

but will re-measure to confirm the numbers i posted i am measuring from wheel well bottom to top of tire with standard measuring tape and thru middle of wheel by nissan emblem


will take pics and post


when i was done Friday night at midnight crashed out

Saturday washed car and waxed

put it in my garage

Sunday came and it was raining

christmas came and raining monday

today tuesday was gonna snap shots for you guys and gals but it was raining so i pulled out of garage in the rain and did not want to get wet for the photos


i will post them i promise

 

i did not know either

but i figured as long as i am putting them in set them at their lowest point

drive car

issues raise a bit

no issues leave alone

no issues as of 30 miles

in all fairness in Palm Beach County we have very good roads

 

Wow, thats really low. Is it streetable?

 

cant wait to see those pics of the megan coilovers....found some for a decent price!!

 

My car on STANCE SUS:









My DB with the homies, Kai and James:


Comparison shot with other DB cars lowered (my car is the one on the LEFT):

 

woahh!!! Looks amazing! so low! i guess thats at max drop? I see you took off your splash guards....id be happy to take them off ur hands! thanks for posting pics

 

haha, nope, I still have more thread to drop the car significantly more; I'm waiting for new uber-wide wheels front/rear and a rear fender roll before I lower the car more; I'm keeping the car stock-body without a kit so I can keep it nice and low with tire tuck and stretched tires

 

haha im going for the same look..simple, yet slammed! what else did you have to install to have it that low...camber kit...? does it rub like that?

 

no rub, no camber kit. just dialed in some negative camber in the rear with 1mm tire to fender clearance. the oem rear camber is adjustable in the rear with the oem camber bolt

 

apexi N1 coilovers

need to lower the front +1in..hopefully no rub im not sure exactly how many inches lowered all the way but the back is almost dumped to the fullest if that helps

 

I'm on Stance Sus full coilovers as well..

i can go lower but the kit is killing me.

but rickdogg for the win.

he has to be the lowest Z iv seen but i dont think he drives that on a daily, he only lowered it for the show but if he does drive that daily, mad props

 

I drive it as is, but it is of course only "streetable" in certain cities. Where I drive the car it gets up and down things just fine. I've driven lowered cars since I first started driving so I get up things that people would not believe such as steep driveways

Definitely not daily driven anymore since I work about 45 minutes from my home one way or else I would drive it a lot more just like when I used to when I worked about 15-20 minutes away from home.

 

now THATS the right mentality. not just stretched, but STREETTCCHHEEDD.

 

at lunch i will snap a few and post

but it is still rainy

car is dirty but you will get the picture anyway

 

looks good but hows it ride and handle?

 

car rides almost like stock in terms of comfort, and along with the cusco f/r sway bars, the car turns on a dime..it's like slot car handling everyday
