their is coo member here selling his eibach sportlines which have same drop as your nf210 but it looks so much better with no gaps at all. i think im sold on eibach sportlines.

check out his pic in his forsale thread (drop looks perfect for having springs)

You need to definitely align it after you drop it. Since it's been a week and a half, now is a good time to get it aligned, unless you want to buy new tires of course. My rear camber is barely out of spec, but everything else is within reasonable specs, I'm putting a rear camber kit on anyways just cause I want it back to factory spec.

It's decent, but it's tons better then the GF210 imo. Haeshik your rear is pretty noticeable difference between the front. The NF210 is almost an even look, the front is BARELY tad looking lower then the rear. That's because the front is lower then the rear stock though.

my question is why does the eibach sportlines sit lower than nf210 when drop rate is the same. i guess after 2 weeks the eibach sits a lil lower?

You live two houses down from Cody right, off of Shakespear? If you are I see you got your car fixed.

To answer your question about "adjustable shocks" they are only damp adjustable, not height. You should have bought coilovers instead, bang for the buck. Do it right the first time, it'll be much cheaper in the end.

I think it looks a million times better than stock, although, I was expecting more of a tire tuck under the fender. You could do a DIY spring mount cut on the rear and get .5"-.7" more of a drop.

About the Eibach springs, their drop is more than advertised. I had the pro-kit and sportline on 2 different cars and got at least .5" more of a drop. Ive seen plenty of pics of eibach springs on Z's and see the same thing. The Sportlines have given almost a tucked look on every Z Ive seen even those their rated at 1.2". I would've chosen those instead of the NF210.
