Default Stock 2006 350Z dropped on Tanabe GF210s

Nothing special, just a bone stock '06 350Z dropped on Tanabe GF210s. I figured that its sometimes hard to find pictures of stock Zs that are lowered, so somebody some day may find this thread in a search and find what they are looking for. Plus, I am bored . The picture is of my girlfriend's 350Z (no she won't let me post pics of her ) Already got in trouble from the "Show your girlfriend" thread.






The springs were installed 4 days prior to the pictures, so I am not sure they have settled all of the way yet. The ride is absolutely awesome, not bumpy or jarring at all and feels more confident and flat in the corners. Much much better ride than the Tien H-Techs I have on my G35.

Thanks! No more pics yet. The car is kindof dirty from rain a few days ago. She is going to order some 19" gold Volk SF Challenges, Varis air duct, and Stillen wing for it probably next week so we will probably do a real shoot after that. I figured people wouldn't really care about another stock 350Z picture thread. Once you have seen one, you have seen them all lol.

Were you able to get the alignment back into spec since you are using teh stock wheels. I'm thinking of going the same route if I can get close to spec... Looks fantastic by the way

Haven't tried since she is getting 19s soon, but it should be able to get pretty close to spec. If you can't get them close enough, just drive harder through the turns to keep the wear even ...Thats what I do lol.

She is going to get 19" Volk SF Challenges in gold. And then if she doesn't like the gold, she is going to powdercoat the centers gunmetal.

Actually it looks pretty even, if anything the front is still a little lower than the rear. I don't know if it has settled all of the way yet. Sorry these are the only pictures I have right now.

I gotta ask... how do you guys get your girlfriends to buy cool cars? Do you actually find girls who are REALLY legitimately into cars? Another guy I know got his gf to buy an rx-8 (not a Z, but still not bad). My gf doesn't want anything that isnt mom-ish and automatic.

Thats a nice drop, looks like a serious drop though. Did you happen to measure before and after?
