After 3 years of owning my 2006 LeMans Touring Z, i have finally lowered her.
I went with the Tokico HP Blues, with Tein S-Tech springs. I must say im very pleased and impressed with this set up. The new shocks feel really good driving on bumpy roads, the springs dont have a lot of a bounce at all, its nice and stiff and handles amazing. It took me and my friend aout 5-6hrs to do the install with basic hand tools and a spring compressor. Being that my factory suspension had 75K miles on it, some of the bolts took a while to get off with some extra force. Anyway below is a pic of my Z lowered, once this rain goes away that we have, i will clean her up and take more into depth pics in the near future...

 

looks good with the grids

 

Thanx

 

thought the hood bump was only on HR.

 

Car looks great. Clean and subtle.

 

im thinking he got that hood from the market place or something.

 

Nice drop.

 

Its a Ls9 swap hahaha jk...no the car was in a wreck 2 years ago and I replaced the hood with the HR since the oem and HR hood cost the same price...I like the look much better with the HR hood...

 

congrats on your long awaited drop

 

Nice, but you took a lot of extra time using spring compressers. They are not needed, the spring can be pushed down by hand.

 

They're that soft?

OP: Glad you got your drop. Looks great. I'm still in that boat though.
But my Stances should be here by the end of this week or next week

Are those 18's? They look too small to be 19's?

 

looks good. get a lip kit for added effect on ur drop.

 

Not bad.

 

Looks clean

 

Who told u they are that soft?? You have to compress the new spring in order to bolt down the hat that connects to the top of the car...you can't compress them with ur hands....

 

Yea those are 18x9.5 all around...im not a fan of 19s on the 350Z unless its a certain wheel like a nice deep dish...

 

Im actually looking to get a front lip or the stillen diffuser...not sure wich route I want to go yet...most likely I will get an exhaust before any of that..

 

Thanks for the nice responses guys...

 

Car looks great! When i installed mine, i bolted the upper mount back up, then installed the shock and spring and raised the suspension with a floor jack until the shock rod came thru then bolted it up...spring compressor is a waste!

 

how much did you drop if you don't mind me asking
