Default New Stance...

Check it out, new stance. Track edition Wheels, Sportline Springs with KYB shocks, Sways and Camber Kit on all 4's. Ride quality excellent considering the 2" drop. She looks and feels tough. (2006 base MT)

Are you using spacers? Looks like you are. What size front/back?

Car looks good!

Looks good. Those wheels also came on the Grand Touring model... best looking stockers ever made IMO.

What Camber Kit did you go with?

Thanks a bunch, no spacers. The offsets on the track wheels are perfect i believe they are +30 front and back, not sure but almost posative. Point being though, no spacers are used.

Springs: Eibach SPortline
Shocks/Struts: KYB
Cambers: Stillen

I went through my first set of tires like it was nothing. Then spent the money on the camber kit on all 4's. I highly reccomend Camber kitting if you decide to go this low. I was thinking about going with coilover's but hey, its not broke so i am not gonna fix it. It rides great, looks sexy and handle's like a effin race car.

Thanks for the info. Looks pushed out for a +30 wheel. I guess it's the height of the car.

Front: 255/40/18 on 18x9
Rere: 275/35/19 on 19x10

Good eye, yes the front is taller to make up for the 18" smaller diameter wheel. all in all, one hell of a sexy combo.

Thanks to all for the props. Like the rest of you... this Z is a Hobby/Passion of mine. I have the money to make her look completely mean, however its all in a name. Trying my damndest to keep her apearance as, "Sleeper". She looks as good as she runs. Plenty under the hood on the way... ahhhhhhh, the never ending work in progress.

That is the spring spec. Probably sagged a bit... half inch or so. Bottom line, no fender/tire gap what so ever. Mean and clean.

sleeper the reason why i ask because i got stance coil over on my Z with the same rims but idk y the front looks higher than the back, not sure if you get the feeling because the front tire needs to be higher to compensate for the rear.

hellsoldier, not sure why yours is taller in front. could be coilovers, (i am not running coilovers) My setup is slightly lower in front than in back. Slightly "raked" stance.

Riot it not as simple as just adjusting them. You have to keep a ratio to front to back to keep stock nissan F TO R Ratio. I havent gotten a chance to measure but it seems like he running the same size set up as me so that means something it up with mine lol.
