Got my Eibachs' on!!
well,..installed Tuesday and haven't driven much(not much wear in time)--but they are sittin great so far and probably another few CM's to drop
OVERALL:
*Perfect* drop for 19's and the ride is tighter feeling and barley any Zbump in the ride--Wheels cured alittle IMO but Eibach's fiunished it off--it also feels like the car dosen't Squat in the rear as much--so tahts not too shaby although you need it to squat a little on a RWD car--front wheels drive thats a no,no(straight line racing) that is.
heres some pic's before and after if I can!INstall only took about 2hrs w/ a oil change as well,..then again we we're smokin and ********tin @ the same time--so VERY EASY INstall--if you have the right tools...DENNIS has em ALL!!Rears are just plain too simple,.and the fronts...just drop the whold damn strut out!! Clamp em and put the new spring on and pop back in(Front was most time consuming)--all in all I LOVE em!!!

Last one---I BTW took off the 2 side window's tint--I like just the 3 rear window's tinted(how I've done it on my old cars)--looks a little more factory instead of Stunna to me--just looks to" G'd up I guess w/ the tint al the way--I might re-do the rears in 5% in a few weeks to blend w/ the rest of the Window surround.
But the springs are adef noticable drop in the rear,.and the front just a little,.but still needs to settle--in a few 100 mioles they will really be sittin pretty!!!Camber is an issue--but alignment will cure a tad bit this week!!

Man, I can't get over how much I like the look of dropped PPW Zs, even better with tint and mods.
I still can't decide on tint for mine. I hate to block the burnt orange leather seats and the rear strut tower bar, but dark tint on the superblack Z sure does look nice...

No kidding Krinkov, those are basically the two cars I was referring to. Gunmetal looks SO good on PPW. I wonder how John's will look once he gets his silver Volks in.

THANX guys--my camera is good but I'll take some really HIGH RES pics this weekend w/ my friends new Blk EVO VIII and possibly a red EVO VIII or yellow S2k??
I love the look now that its dropped--def made a hell of a difference--even to the people that know nothing about/or care about cars--people @ my Job ask"what did you do to your car"--it just shows off the wheels even more
My NISMO kit should be here this week--and take about another week to prep & Paint--Then I'm done for now....???????
So you decided not to go w/ the INGS+1 kit??I'm dying to see pic's of it in real life ya know,..no one has it yet---glad I didn't decide to get that--I can't stand waiting for things on my car!
<----Mr.Fairlady is very impatient
Thanx guys--Super High Res pic's to come!!!

Wow, looks great. I noticed two of you mentioned adding the Nismo kit as well to your Eibach. I thought you either went Eibach to lower or picked the Nismo suspension which handles better and lowers. How are you mixing the two together. I am very interested considering I am debating between the two. Plese enlighten me.
How is it lowered as far as bottming out the ft at driveways etc?
Thanks, Jeff

zland - The nismo kit doesn't lower the body of the car much, so with the .8 inch and 1.2 inch rear drop on the eibach's the car is still driveable. I didn't go with the INGS+1 kit because I decided last minute I wanted the nismo kit instead, it should be in next week on Friday... The INGS+1 kit is already here, and i'm selling it...

I am still confused
Z461:
I am still confused. Does the Nismo suspension lower the car? If it does, why is there a need for Eibach? Am i thinking wrong?
