Has my 08 been lowered?
Just got this car and have no cars to compare at this time.
I'll post pics later, but I get TWO FINGER GAP (tight) up front and 3 fingers (TIGHT) in the rear. The tires and wheels are STOCK. I looked at shocks and springs...they don't *look* like they have been swaped out (37 k Mi on car)..but I can't say for sure. Appreciate any input until pics are posted.

Now that will help. Need to get it on level ground but I'm getting 26.25" up front vs 26.9" in the specs..so I'm .6" lower up front. The rears look stock Ht...maybe a tad lower.
I would assume I'm stock suspension, since there are only 1..maybe 2..aftermarket springs that only lower the car .2"-.3" and those are Tiens. If they were gonna be on lowering springs the next level would be thr RSRs at .6" lower close to my set up on the front. BTW, these springs are not colored (like most aftermarket)..they're BLACK.
Edited..I'm 26.25" up front not 26.75"

Not for a stock car, unfortunately. The only Z's I have available are all lowered. When you've got 15 minutes to spare, jack the car up and remove one of the rear wheels. Snap a picture of that, and we'll be able to tell you whether it's lowered or not.
Or maybe you can cruise over to a local Nissan lot and compare your car next to a stock Z?

So assuming you have a coupe, you are on 225/45 245/45 stock tires and we use the FSM diagram for ***** and giggles; then yes, you are lower than stock. Most aftermarket springs are not black, take a rag to your springs and see if there are any legible markings. At any rate, you aren't much lower than stock so where do you go from here?

Went I replace the shocks with D specs, I'll prolly put on the rsr *Down* springs for a .6" drop..they have rates very close to stock 04.5 revision.
