I would like to see this too!
I was told the 07 is tweaked a bit, I was looking in to the light drop from hotchiks, but have sinced changed my mind after seeling an 07 slamed! Useing the TVS springs/sway's, the older Z's looked good but on the 07 it looks way too low. I was told the spring seat is different (what i heard)
Can anyone confirm if the 07 is exactly the same as the 06?
Cheers
Kevin

Evolevd:, your drop was what i was talking about, your rear is off as well as being a lower then normal drop. Correct me if i'm wrong, but they did the install for you, right?
I was hoping to drop my 07, but not sure if want it that low. I talked with Deftones and he went in another direction and i am just waiting for some pic's of his ride. I am still considering the setup your running cause
It's still a nice drop i just don't know if i want it that low, how's your ride after the drop?
Cheers

I am not 100% happy with the ride either. The rear spring is actually softer than stock. When I go over speed bumps, it feels soft (front and rear) and then it would feel like it was bottoming out. I guess its because Hotchkis is not progressive? And on road dips, I feel like I am bracing for a scratch with the road cause it feels too soft. I like a irm ride but it jsut is not firm enough for me.
On corners, it feels great. But I think this is due to the sway bars.
BTW, hotchkis installed it foe me. It was free cause they wanted to test it on an 07 and I was one of the first to have one.
To give hotchkis some credit, the rear is not lower than the front.
