i got h&r sport springs (1.3 front and 1.0 rear). the front has a perfect drop but the rear has a lil gap that has been bugging me so i might look into what you have or gf210. i don't get why the rear has a lower drop than front for the gf210?

how low did you go? It doesnt look more then 1/2 inch. I use tein basics and have a little over 1" all around. I would go around 1.2" in my opinion, youll love how it looks. Im assuming you have 275 tires in the back and 245s up front?

i don't think the gf210 drop wouldn't be that nice since only 1 inch drop for front. how does the car handle with nf210?

atually there 1.2 all around it doesn't look like much maybe cause it's black but my tires i have 215's in the front and 235's in the rear my tires came with the rim when i bought them, i think 1.2 is the lowest you can go with springs if i want to go lower i have to look into coil's which i don't want to do cause it seems like a hassel if i ever want to change the drop

I have NF210 as well. Not low enough for me, the GF210 would not be any better either. It's about a half finger gap all around which bothers me. I am curious why the hell you are running 215/35f and 235/35r? Most people run 245f/275r at the very least. I figured 19"s would fill up the gap more than my stock 18s but I think it's your tires. I should of gotten Eibach Sportlines. They definitely tuck a lot better then NF210. And 250$ installed is not bad. I paid around 175-185 for mines, so 80$ for them to install is actually a good price.

according to jims post, eibach sportlines have the same drop as nf210 so why would it "tuck alot better"? im curious also cause i don't want coilovers since i already have tokico dspecs.

i forgot to mension the tires came with the rim so the rim sticks out more then the tire which it would prob. look a lot better if i had 245/275's, so instead of changing them im just gona run them out to the best of my ability and then change them

yeah but at least you CAN change it. i think rims offset and drop can make or kill the car.

but staying on topic... your car looks decent.

uhmm i honestly can't tell you if it makes a big difference cause ive never seen a z with a 1 inch drop, and mines on the 1.2 i assume it wouldn't make that much of a difference since its only .2 in. lower it would be hardly noticible, but people do tell me the car will get lower cause you need to let teh springs sit in for at least a week or longer its been about a week and a half and it still looks the same to me

I let mines sit for 2weeks before I went to get it aligned. It basically stayed the same. How much of a gap do you have? The question is, is it low enough for you? It is definitely better then stock height at least!

the front is perfect but the rear has half a finger gap and i was looking for springs that would keep the front as is but lower the rear just a tad bit to get rid of gap. i gues nf210 is the next best thing for what i want?

sorry mrfobby if im jacking your thread.
