Super Offset Slammed Pics - Can it go any lower?
After much thought and a few days at the track where I had wished I had brought my car, I think I am gonna raise the car by 15mm all around. This should give me plenty of tire clearance for the bumpy tracks like Sebring!
Aligning the car is aseasy as finding a good shop to do it at. I have heard of using some Porsche/race shops but they charge way too much money. I have a friend that has had my car up on the allignment rack w/out having to use any wood for assistance. Of course this was before I lowered the car to where it is at now.

and a mini meet.
Love the wheels, hate the tire stretch and the stupid drop, the camber reminds me of a slammed Civic-your gonna eat through tires in 10K miles. Whats the point in having coilovers in a Z if you cant even take turns fast? You rub on 85% of slow speed turns, with a ****s hair of body roll your done. Function comes first in my book I guess not yours.

IMO These are great set-up that give both superior performance and retain FACTORY SPECS. Both SPC toe bolts AND camber adjusting rods should be used . For some of the other guys if they are rubbing their tires 85% of the time but still want the look and feel of a lowered suspension maybe rolling their fenders could be done. Just my
The factory toe and camber adjustments were being used on my car. I was able to get the toe into factory spec while using 2 deg camber up front and 3 deg camber in rear. I installed the front and rear camber arms today to I can have more freedom on the camber adjustment.
Rubbing has never been an 'issue' and even with front and rear fenders rolled, the fender well gets a rub ever now and then.

looks great, but I'm with bert. after a point the car starts to handle worse. Just becuase RACECARS sit on the ground doesnt mean factory built cars will handle well being slamed.
I bet a stock Z would outhandle any of those lowered to the point of tucking the tires cars.
Ohwell some people are into looks, others are into a great handling (sports) car.

With the current setup, the car handles on par (if not better than stock). For the 10% of 'spririted' driving that I do in my car, it is great! In the 1 HPDE events that I am doing, its as simple as throwing a set of 17's on with 255 / 275 combo and it clears just fine!
Noobs... hehehe
