finally got the fronts on. Id like to go a little lower later on but for now i think the drop looks pretty good.

 

For the people with sportlines did you re use the stock bump stops or just put the springs in with no rubber bump stops??

 

Im in the same position as well with the front and sportlines. I installed the rear with everything else stock, and its almost tucking tire, which is fine. In the front, I only have the right front installed, the bolt in the LCA on the drivers side is frozen and I am going to have to replace the arm. However, I installed all the stock stuff on the new strut and spring(the bump stop is attached to the dust shield correct?) and it seems to sit too high. So when the LCA comes in and I do the drivers side I think I will pull out the bump stop on the other side as well, but it seems that it will really drop it then in the front, rendering my new uninstalled wheel spacers too big.

The way I read the instructions was that you were NOT modifying the bump stops, not that you were not to use them.

 

I elected to leave the bump stops in, and Im happy with the drop, Ill get some pics up soon. anyone who wants some brand new ichiba 25mm wheel spacers PM me, they are brand new, with the drop and the 25mm I will have to roll the fenders, and I dont want to.

 

I left the ones in the rear in and in the front i didnt re use them. re the directions on my350z.com and it says NOT to use the bump stops with the sportlines. My LCA bolt also froze on but all i did was cut the bolt head off and pushed it ojut and replaced with a new one. WHy are you replacing the whole arm??? Not to mention that with that drop you will need to buy adjustable front control arms in order to get the alignment back into proper spec so dont waste money on factory ones

 

we tried everything under the sun to get the bolt out, its not coming out. I got a rear camber kit, its the one that goes way out of wack, I can live with the front being out a little. The drop is fine with the bump stops, right at the top of the tires. Plus now I have bigger fish to fry, I think all the hammering broke the abs wheel sensor, because now the abs, vdc and slip light are all on, even after ecu reset. I know it comes on when alignment is way out, but from my searching that usually does not trigger an abs light as well, plus it was not on yesterday. the adjustable arms to my knowledge on upper arms, Im not replacing those. If I did it will be with adjustable ones.

 

got it all done, sorry for the crappy cell pics, buy my parents borrowed the digi for there trip to the beach.

Bump stops are IN. I would expect them to settle another 1/4 inch. I used tokico blues, and I think the ride quality is great! I much better than it was before, my stockers must have been worn out. Im gonna go with the 20mm spacers i nthe rear and 15 in the front. The 25mm are too much for the rear and will hit the fenders. Same with the 20mm in the front, so Im gonna put the 20mm I got for the front in the back and get some 15mm for the front, just as soon as I get the ABS light fixed.

 

^^^That's a nice looking drop.

 

kburn, what lip is that? Its looks awesome.

 

Can you post a pic or two? I have the sportlines but am wating for my camber kit to arrive before I put them on. just wanna see how mine will look with stock 18s lowered.

 

alright here's my dilema, I am looking to throw some g35 coupe Eibach sportlines on my z. I am on 19's. if I keep the bumpstops IN, will it make the body gap between the tire and fender smaller then the z on here that used the same springs but was on 18's, or will the body gap be larger?
