ya im fine with s-techs...plus anything lower on my dinky 17s would give massive wheel gap and i didn't want that. But ya s-techs gave mine a nice look but you still gotta be careful. If you plan on getting stance than don't waste your money on springs.

I'm rockin s-techs w/stock shocks. I commute back and forth from oakland to fairfield regularly (approx 1hr appart) and from a daily driver's perspective I'd say they do very well. Roads can be a biah in the city @ times (especially DT) and it's a bit bumpier than stock but in terms of clearance from speedbumps and inclines they do well for me. Just know thyself and exercise caution at all times. Performance wise there is a very noticable improvement in the corners, however I would still recommend upgrading shocks for maximum performance.If you're wondering about the asthetic perspective the s-techs just basically give the stock stance a slightly more agressive look. If you are going for a lightly-tuned look that is easy on the eye or daily drive your Z (in both cases for me) then I think these would suit well. To each his own, you just need to know what you want. Hope this helps!

Beautiful ride man! Love the stance. I'm from PG originally so I know how much the roads suck out there. @ least the highways are smooth though. Out here you don't only have to look out for city-sized potholes in the fast lane but other random **** as well. I was on the freeway in oakland on time and almost lost it @ about 80 mph trying to avoid a ****ing grill in the middle of the fastlane!

1.2-1.5" looks perfect. S.tech's hardly drop the Z. I have them and can clear any ramp or driveway with ease.

despends on you.
I was dropped about 2"+s and I was scraping my HKS y-pipe flex section.. I raised about 5 rotations allaround and couldn't be happier than ever!
