Default PIC REQUEST : 0.8 drop, 1.0 drop and 1.2 drops

I'm debating so hard and been researching but people did not put how many inch they have dropped their Z.. could you guys post up some pic and write down what type of suspension it is and how many inches dropped? I'm looking for 0.8 or 1.0 drop..

Well, I went from the Lex IS350 to this so the ride comfort was obviously vastly different. I feel everything on the road and definitely have to watch the steep drops. Basically, to look good you gotta deal with the bump lol. It is not as bad as some other car's that have been dropped that I rode in though.

I had prelude 2001 before.. I dropped 2.0 and it was the worse thing ever.. I don't want to experience the same as 350z.. I live in NJ and it sucks down here.. Should I go with 1.0 or 1.2?.. does it make huge diff?

Demeryder- Nice look man, but did you need an aligment at the time of the pics? The top of the rear wheels look like they are farther in than the bottom.

I am not a fan of Z roadsters at all, but this one is quite possible the nicest looking Roadster i've seen.

Hotchkis, not very low. Less than an inch drop, rides better than stock, handles well.
