Default Hi question for those with lowering springs

edit: I apologize this is the wrong section, I have the brakes & suspension window open along with the DIY window and posted this in the wrong tab I apologize !! Mods you can close or move sorry!


Can you really tell the difference from how the car looked with stock suspension? I am just wondering if about a 1'' drop is noticeable or not. I have tried searching around for good pics of members and have found a few.

If you have lowering springs on your car I would love to see pics of it to get a sense of what it looks like. I am just trying to eliminate the wheel gap and I am not 100% sure if this is the way to go. I appreciate it thanks!

Astute members can tell if a Z has a one inch drop yes. You can probably see 1/2 inch with a close look. Photos? Come on there are hundreds of photos here.

A 1 inch drop is very noticeable indeed.

yes, 1 in. drop is very noticeable. Even with Hotchkis springs, the drop is very noticeable as well (what I have right now).

- Front 9/16" (15mm) Drop
- Rear 3/4" (19mm) Drop

*Also keep in mind that the springs will settle down even more after time.

I have a few pics of Hotchkis springs on my 08 350Z. (I will upgrade to coilovers very soon)
