anyone have pics of 07 z with tanabe nfs spring drop, or even gfs...sorry and i did try the search,couldnt find any decent pics, i want to see how the gap is, thank you

 

wouldnt it look like an 06 with GFs or NFs?

 

yea even thought the springs have been revised each year between 04.5 06 and 07 the ride height looks identical

 

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

 

Semi-confirmed.

I have an 07 with Hotchkis and it sits a little lower than I thought it would. pics in a bit.

 

Sorry for the amount of pixs. I dont post pics often.

 

LOL nice plate.

 

Thanks! VQHR FTW faild to pass twice. I think they thought it meant **** THE WORLD. Losers..

 

thanks for the pics, had hotchkis on the 00 celica, handle nice and comfy...but anynoe out there with tanabe pics? on the 07

 

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

from my knowldge there are front spring rate changes in the 04.5 Z the 06 and the 07.

 

Agreed. The drop is more than I tohught it would have been. Some angles it looks good but sometimes I feel the rear is too low.

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.

 

ya that is nice how hotchkis rear isnt lower then the front? wonder if thats becuase they installed it?? i like it though, mite get have to stick with hotchkis again

 

like he said!! if your not satisfied, just imagine the 06 with the 07 hood on.
