I was woundering how much of a drop you done to your Z, or do you rather have it stock.

I have Tanabe GF210's and they dropped the car about 1 1/4 inches. I think it's the perfect drop because the car is much meaner looking, handles better and is still practical (for the most part) for daily driving. Now, when I put on my GT Spec ladder brace I started rubbing on stuff but you just have to be careful.

I used the drop zone springs back in the day (not sure of how much it actually droped?). I didn't like the ride, but I guess you get what you pay for. Sold them soon after for coil overs.

I have a 1 or so inch drop from Eibach springs and the car is lowered an additonal 1/2 inch or thereabouts with the rim/tire combo I am running. so about 1 1/2 inch drop with another 1/2 to come when the coilovers go on this weekend (hopefully).

at 1 1/2 I can easily make it over speed bumps at 15+ MPH still.

I have the tein S.tech springs, but with the spring cut mod and going +1 on the wheels/tires, I got 1" front, 1.5" rear. After I get Stance coilovers, probably 1.5" front, and 2-1/4" rear.

I have Greddy coilovers and slammed my car, rides smooth though.....it feels just like the stock ride. Not sure how low, but both front and rear tires (r275/35/19 & f245/35/19)are about 1/4 under the fender
