The Z has been lowered

Installed Bc Br-type coilovers, rear camber kit, and rear toe kit last Saturday and then got the car aligned today and now it is ready to drive. Suspension definitely feels much stiffer. I can feel every bump in the road when the dampening is set to almost full hard.

Very nice. Maybe next purchase would be wheels.

Very Nice. I think a black wheel would be a great color on it.

Sticking to the white on black look. Not trying to do anything crazy, just trying to be simply clean.

clean is good. I'm not really a fan of the black/white look (and my g35 is white). But, your car. do you.

No I don't have one but could probably use one. My camber is at -2.0 degrees in the front and spec is -1.3. If anyone has experience with a lowered car and no front camber kit is -.7 degrees really going to do much to my tires?
