Well im pretty strapped for cash lately when it comes to car upgrades. I decided im going to stick with the 18' touring rims, I think there great looking rims and would look even better if the car was lowered.

Now im not really concerned about extreme handling or how its gonna perform at the track, just want it lowered with about the same ride quality.


Ive never lowered a car before and would not know where to start, im a mechanic but I work on boats, im pretty handy with a wrench though and can follow directions to a tee!


Do I need to just buy springs???

Can someone link me to the exact size I need for my 2004 Enthu ??

I tryed the search and I didnt get the anwser I was looking for.

All help Appr. Thanks Guys!

 

I really like my GF210s, they lowerd me about 1.2 in the front and 1.0 in the rear. All i needed was an alignment afterwards to get back into spec and thats it

 

if u want a really cheap way, cut your stock springs.

although i recommend not taking the cheap way out when modding your car

 

What are the GF210's? Are those coilovers or springs? if possible can u link me to where to get them??? THanks

 

cutting your srpings is the cheapest way but ur car is going to be bouncy..
there is no cheap way what you pay is what you get..

 

I purchased eibach sportline springs for $250 shipped and had them installed today(and an oil change) for 200$ and I love them.

 

Springs from Tanabe. Paid $160 for them (shipped) from a vendor on this site. And i installed them myself. But after the alignment it all came out to be about $200 give or take.

 

You should look over this DIY thread about installing lowering springs on a G35 coupe to get the general idea: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension-diy/46741-eibach-springs-installed-with-pics-and-instruction-g35-coupe.html
And you can find cheapo lowering springs all over ebay: http://tinyurl.com/3ccluk
I lowered my Saab a few years back and will my Z when I finally purchase an appropriate set of coilovers. If you're "handy with a wrench" it's not a very complicated procedure.

 

the only thing is that even if you by springs sooner or later your gonna need new shocks i can guarantee you that, so instead of just buying springs and paying for labor than going back later on and paying for new shocks and labor its alot better to get coilovers, personally the advatage of coilovers is that you can adjust them to your liking as compared to springs you just have one set up. the other option would be ground controls(dont know if they make em for the Z)and konis shocks or any springs and shocks.

 

just save up for some coilovers if you dont have the cash for it but if you do just get the coilovers.... you'll end up spending more trying to take the cheap way out or taking short cuts......

 

just search the classifieds for someone selling some used springs in good condition.

 

 

I don't get it what's w/ the pics??

 

Deflate your tires - it's free.

Sorry, drank with the boss at lunch.

 

The Tanabe's and Tein S Techs both play very nicely with the stock struts and neither one is expensive

Both in stock BTW

 

There is no cheap way of lowering your car. Sorry to break it to you. You must pay to play. If you want to lower your ride inexpensively, you can try Tanabe NF or GF. Depending how low you want, you get some Tokico shocks to compliment the springs. DO NOT CUT YOUR COILS.

 

Cheapest way to lower my Z??

Answer: Fat Chick.

 

+1 LOL.....

 

Drop your driveway?

And fat chicks cost more money, higher maintenance costs.

 

I have always heard fat girls can suck a mean dick..any comment on that?
