I tried google and search but they don't tell the specific drop. Also i'm going through "Do you think yourZ/G is low?" thread but no real drop info. If anyone has pics or links of 350z being lowered more than 2.5 inch (would like to see 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 inch drop) please post. Many different angles please.
I'm getting ready for somewhat slammage on Stance tomorrow. i got SPC front and rear kit.
Oh, i have 18 inch stockies so pics of drops on 18 inch wheels would be awesomeage.

The thing is i'll be installing the coilover tomorrow in my very small garage. If i drop the car more than 1", i"ll barely be able to get out of the garage since it was a small steep hill right before i go into my garage. so dropping 3 inch would be REALLY hard to get out of the garage lol or impossible with my small weak wood ramps. i live in an apartment so there is no place where i can jak up the car and raise or lower other than in my garage. i'm going to try to get the right height in my garage.
i can't even take pics of the side in the garage since it's so packed.
SUcks i can't use the garage to park my car..

i don't get it. you're asking for pics of dumped cars, yet you can barely drop more than 1"?
In any case, I don't think many people with coilovers really know how much they have it dropped. most usually eyeball before installing, usually setting them pretty low. then adjust as needed.

THe reason i want to drop em 2, 2.5 or 3 inch is because you know, some people ask how much you dropped. I want to be able to answer that lol

If all you need is to be able to answer that question, then 0.0 can be an answer too. Lol

^^Thanks.
I'm just over my budget so coilover + Wheels can't happen at the same time.
My goal for the look is Hellaflush. So..maybe 18x10 or 18x10.5 with 245/45/18.

Stock ride height:

40 turns down on Stance GR+ Pro Coils:

At this point I would estimate the drop to be about 2.5-3 inches. I raised it considerably since then because this state was undriveable.(I think it sits at 30 turns in the front and 27 in the rear) Keep in mind that 2x4 was about at the height of the side skirt.
Edit: I did actually measure what the drop was from factory spec, after raising back up and I recall being near a 2" drop. This is still tucking a bit of tire. If it helps I could measure it, but that doesn't mean it will have any correlation to your setup unless you are running stance also.

it doesn't take more than 2+ inches to dump a Z. Here's my car with the KW V1's all the way down in the rear, probably around 1.6" (lower than the recommended range). Keep in mind that I'm on 18's, so it doesn't look as low as if it would on 19's. just imagine what 2.5" in would look like. 3" would be undriveable. the "hellaflush" look isn't for daily drivers, unless you don't plan on not leaving the smooth as butter Irvine roads haha.
