front lip is 4.5" and the rears are 5". I dont rub at all..thank goodness. I am definitely going to slam it. but the thing is, my city is so broke that they cant fix our roads. I'm already having a hard time getting into the parking garage at work. I'm trying to convince myself that it aint gonna be that bad when i do it. and no camber kit yet. i'm mostly worried about toe.

...lol... have you considered bags?
i know what
you mean about the camber kit, its not too much of a problem... but the toe is what eats the tires (if im wrong please correct me).... especially since your stressing the tire by streching it...lol... good thing smaller tires are cheaper, i couldnt imagine having to change my 305's that much....lol...lol...

Eibach sportlines. haha with a little fabrication to make it sit lower bc i dont have the money for coilovers haha....ill explain.
rear - i cut right betwenn 1/2 and 1/4 of first coil on the bottom of the springs. it still has a dead coil...like the bottom of the spring is still flat againt the control arm. and i cut the rear springmount cone thing. maybe a 1/4 of an inch left of it. rides awesome, no noises or anything. i know my stock struts have about had it bc of this but oh well....im low
front - there is about a 3 1/2 inch piece of sold steel from the shock to the mount. i sectioned about 2 inches out of this. i cut it and before i welded the pieces back together i put a piece of 3/4 inch round and 3/4 inch long steel ring around one side. then welded the 2 pieces back together then slide the ring over the weld and weld the ring to the steel to give it strength. its strong as hell. i have been driving on this for about 3-4000 miles now and i checked it my last oil change whch was the other day and its perfect. not a single crack or bend or anything. its strong as hell and rides smooth.
im sure some people are gonna hate on this and say whatever they have to say but i dont care if you think its dangerous or a bad idea. its holding up just fine and i drive memphis streets every day and they suck ***. i hit huge bumps and drive my car hard sometimes and everything holds up fine. this would be dangerous if you were not a skilled welder and didnt take your time. but everything on the front was lined back up PERFECTLY and welded back and is strong as stock.....

[QUOTE=tlrmade;8480675]Eibach Sportlines
Here is a video of my Z after a few months of my Sportline springs have settled. They have settled a significantly amount lower than when they were first installed.

This video is even a few months later than my settled video with my new Nismo V2 (replica) front bumper installed. Haha some people might think I'm crazy but I think they have even settled more. I would warn anybody that is considering some Sportlines that you will definitely drag everywhere!!!
