Default Got my Eibach Sportlines on today

So I just bought my 350z and was searching on the web for the best way to go about lowering my car I heard many diffrenet brands, how low to go etc.... I was going to go with the pro kit because it was my first Z and I didnt want to risk anything but then after seeing more cars on the sportlines I said what the heckk! As far as the ride goes I really didnt notice a diffrence , when im going slow I can hear the spring knock/bounce a lil ... but other than that coming from a civic hatch the ride comfort is still there,BTW thats my friends s2k he got wheels the same day I lowered my car so I just took some pics of his , he's lowered on esplair sp? springs about 1.5 I think , let me know what you think about my drop, here are before and after shots, next thing is a lip , rims are 17 up front 18 inch in the rear tires in rear are 275/40/18

BEFORE






















AFTER

looks much much better!

Wish it was warm here so I could get some car work done. I'd get some new shocks and an SPC rear camber kit if I were you. Those stock shocks are gonna go quick w/ that big of a drop and your tires are really gonna suffer w/out the rear camber kit.

Looks good man. Did you need to install a camber kit as well? I just did my S-Techs last week and i have a bit of camber, but not that much. Then again, they only lowered my about .5" all around. I'd say the ride quality is still very good. Good luck.

definately much better. When it settles, think about some of the parts mentioned above. That's a big drop

I've been running my stock shocks with my sportlines for about 20,000 miles, no problems yet. Although I will be picking up some DSpecs soon!

It all depends on your driving habits though. I'd say more around 10k, to play it safe
