i have a set of 20" american racing rogue rims that im deciding to keep i think and powder coat them black.

i want to lower my car to get rid of the wheel gap.

would that be to low?

what about the hotchkis? 9/16 in the front and 3/4 in the back.

PM me with answers if you'd like. for i dont get on very often.

but i need opinions and personal experience

 

Pics of how it sits now would help. 03' Z's sit lower, Ive seen an 03' next to an 04' both on 20's and the ride height difference is big.

 

could also be a result of the tire they used though - even though they might have had the same size tires, different brands will have different widths and as a result, different height sidewalls. 03 and 04 cars use the same springs, and the same dampers, so the only variance in height that could occur is the normal differences you see from one car to another.

 

Do 04.5 have a higher stance? Exact same tires/size and the 04/04.5 was much higher, made the 03' look lower. Its been the case for every 03' comapred to other Z's Ive seen.

 

04.5 is where the changover to the revised suspension began. I've never measured stock heights for stock heights, as I've had no reason to, but not every car will always sit the same, even as stock
