Default Dropzone spring pictures...

I installed mine last night... this has to be more than 1.2inch drop. Too bad i didnt measure it before i did it. Excuse the craptacular stock wheels.





Middle of the front bumper clearance..


Side of the front bumper clearance....


Sideskirt clearance at the front of the door...


Front tire gap...


Rear tire gap...


thats it.. ill take some more next week whenever my wheels come in! Im about to go install the veilside v1 lip


PS.

The ride on these is surprisingly great! I spent all day driving around to make sure that everything was ok. No weird noises, no squishyness, no bottoming out or anything. The ride is a bit stiffer than stock, but it feels TONS better than my old tein s-techs. Not bad for springs that cost $89 bucks shipped

quality is sacrificed for price. Time will tell how good these springs are.

we'll see.... so far so good. If they end up being crap. big deal.. its an excuse to get coilovers

there has been a few other members that ran these for a long period of time with no problems, so i dont see why they shouldnt last.

why yes... yes you did. lol

I was going to trade the car in, which is why i sold everything. I was going after a 2002 BMW M5, it was dirt cheap. So i worked it all out with the dealer, and the day i go to trade the car in and wrap it all up.. they sell the car a few hours before i get there to someone else cash. Asshats.

So after i sold all my **** i was thinking if i should sell it anyways or just keep it another year, make some more progress on the loan and then sell it.... and thats what i decided. BUT, this time im not going to spend all the money i did on it before. Its project 350z v. broke *** benny. lol. The money from all my parts went towards helping me pay off some stuff, so its all good. With that said.... here is pix of the V1 lip installed....





wheels are scheduled to arrive next wednesday

You can get the sideskirts on ebay, and they will paint them for you. I will look up the link if your interested. I got the sides for about 280 painted. Oh and guess what! Someone has already used the v1 sides with ings lip. I was pis$ed when i saw it.

the stock wheels have seen better days.. lol. The only reason i painted them crappy black is because when i got the car, the wheels DID have the brake dust baked onto the wheels... they looked like they had a disease or something. lol.

As for sideskirts, im not a big fan of the v1 sides, im just gonna leave it stock, or put the mud guards back on.
