Finally Lowered my Z
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...

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

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?

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....
