Talk to Gsedan35. He knows suspension like the back of his hand.

Jim (Gsedan35) is like the guru of suspension... He's helped me quite a bit, he's even offered to test the suspension to help broaden his knowledge of new and upcoming suspension companies. I asked him about BC, and his info is very minimal because he hasn't had the chance to test them, but all he's heard is heresay, no specific #'s or data. I know he supports Bilstein, as for stance, not highly.

Just remember that trying to EVEN out the car by lowering the rear will throw the Z out of balance by transfering the roll stiffness to the rear....this will take away from the stock stiffness in the front and make it feel lighter....and probably sloppier.....

but it's all about what feels good to you.....just get them on and install them at recommended settings.....if it DOESN'T feel as stiff up front....raise the rear up.....or do the opposite depending on the situation....once you have found the correct balance of the car that you like....THEN you can drop it more....just make sure that you drop it for example 1 inch in the front (after finding the balance point) do exactly the same for the rear.


if you just go for looks and lower it even front and rear off the bat you are going to have a hell of a time getting it right....

hope i made some sense here.
