So, I currently have my 03 stock 18" rims off my car and they are getting painted.

I'm looking to get springs and spacers, for now, i dont want coilovers or anything more then springs and spacers. I want the best possible stance i could get by using only springs and spacers with my stockers.

What I'm looking to find out is what would be the best stance i could get
and what parts would i need to make this happen.

What springs would lower the car enough where i wouldnt need my fenders rolled or anything?

and, what size spacers would be best to get if i have 18x8 with 225/45f and 245/45r?


thanks, i searched but there is so much to look thru and 1000s of options, i need some answers by tomorrow so i can get these ordered before my rims go back on

 

check this thread out https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...er-thread.html

 

sportlines and 25mm spacers

 

thats thread helped out alot, now im just curious about what springs i could get with out having to roll my fenders

 

+ 1 with the sport lines..........

or RSR's........a buddy of mine has RSR's with track wheels and 20mm spacers and it looks perfect.....plus the RSR are a great height with a solid feel, really cuts down body roll and work well..


do that and you should be good dude......

would i need to get shocks with the sportlines

 

would you NEED to get struts/shocks for lowering your car? No.
SHOULD you? YES!

 

You should also take into consideration your rear and front camber. Dropping the car, depending how low, will affect your alignment. You may require some camber kits to fix your alignment. Don't rush into buying any suspension parts without doing your homework.

 

hard to answer "best" stance.. just ge some springs that will lower more than 1" and get maybe 20mm front and 25mm rear spacers...

 

yea im not rushing, thats y im trying to figure out exactly what i need before i do anything

i want eibach sportlines with 25mm front and 30mm rear

then i need to figure out what else i will need to make this work like shocks, camber kit , fender rolling?...etc

 

if you get sportlines, then you will need camber kits...as long as you like tread and non-retarded looking camber...and if you do 30mm in the rear then you will probably need your fenders rolled...

i use 25mm in the rear and 20mm in the front and with those springs i dont have any problems...also, get shocks/struts...whatever you do, get shocks/struts...

 

GF210s with Ichiba 20mm fronts and 25mm rear spacers.

Then you'll need at the minimum - rear SPC/Eibach camber kit and toe bolts.

Then an alignment.

Depending on how many miles are on your car you'll eventually have to look for new shocks when they blow out.

For that money you could get entry level coilovers and run whatever height you want (and dampened). Stance or BC Racing for starters.


I'm running BC Racing coils, SPC front and rear camber kits, and Ichiba 20mm front 25mm rear spacers on 07+ factory wheels. No rubbing... looks fantastic, rides wonderful and handles great!

 

^^ can u post pic`s of your ride ??

 

Sure, I'm at work for another hour and 15 minutes. I'll head home and upload some that I took over the weekend. I was actually thinking about taking some more today... we'll see how I feel.

For the record - I'm in love with the BC coils. A medium setting rides better than factory IMO. The hardest setting is like being on rails... too hard for normal street use (again, that's my opinion) but fantastic for a track setting (for an amateur... I'm not talking professional racing here).

 

Roll your fenders and go with 30mm spacers back and 25mm front. Then get sportlines.

My car with 25mm/30mm and lowered a little over an inch all around

 

did your shocks blow hella fast??? is that why you recommend shocks immediately?? i thought the shocks can last for a bit before they go??

 

well no, i ran on stocks for a while...stock doesnt last long though...you will need some aftermarket shocks eventually as long as you care about ride comfort and performance...
