The reason that I am selling it is because I want to low my Z as low as possible. This is the pic with the RS-R springs.

Are they designed to be on stock struts like Eibach is????? I just installed 19in rims and I want the springs more for looks purpose... Cause I think the Z's suspension is pretty good anyway..

Man, that .6 drop is a lot more than I thought. little_kulin, how is the ride, handling, and such of these springs compared to stock?? From appearances, that looks like more than a .6 drop, but it might just be the picture. Would love to see additional pictures.

the drop probably looks so low because of the 19" wheels.

???? that is really confusing.. ... .6 drop up front and .6 drop in rear does not = 1.5 overall drop ... overall drop is still .6 .. but that looks like way more than .6 drop .. please clarify

Default RS-R

Wow. Your ride looks great.

In your opinion, how much of the look of your drop is due to the springs or to the rims?


And I know this is probably a stupid question, but how much does it cost to have them installed. I do not possess the expertise nor the tools to Do it Myself.

I too have been thinking about the Eibacks but he RS-R look like they would work just fine for me.

thanks

Well...., the fact that I am using 20" rims might make it looks lower than 0.6" drop. But I am not satisfied with the drop, I want to make it 1.5" both rear and front.
The ride is not that bad compared to stock. My friend is the one that installed the springs, so I don't know how much does it cost to installed all of them. My guess would be around $100 or $80.

Ohhhhhhh, ok, the 20" rims are what the difference is. What ratio tires are you running with that???

Dude, I would love to see more pictures of your current setup.
