Dump it more, you need the clearance of a credit card not a cell phone, especially a brick like that.

Read above If it is lowered anymore I will not be able to get the car out of where I live - It is not a garage model

why is the red pin striping on that not look original? looks like it was hand done. Was this not a TA rim to begin with?

You are sooooooooo funny, no, really you are. You also lack the ability to read because you would have noticed I said above that I already hit the exhaust on every damn speed bump. Lets ignore those facts though is it? lets just slam it on its *** & leave it outside my house forever because I cant get it anywhere. Maybe I can charge dumb american tourists to come and view the car, it can become one of the wonders of the world

Lol!!! The joys of having roads with no speedbumps on hey Ian!!!

Unfortunaly over here we have 2 issues that stop us slamming the cars, one being Councils that think that every one drives at 100mph everywhere so they put speedhumps the size of oil barrels every 50 meters in citys, and 2 a road network that was started by the romans... and built on over time (not to mention being bombed in WW2!) this means that lots of the roads are uneven, have potholes and lots of undulation so we would constantly be scraping lips and side skirts if we were to go lower...

Thats even without talking about getting the cars up curbs to get to some driveways!

Pain in the ar$e.... So be happy with your nice flat roads (Guess the saving grace it that we have some great bends in ours!!)

Nice upgrade with the suspension. When I was looking at the pix, I was wondering where the drop was, but after reading your plea I can understand why its conservative. I'd be in hell driving my Z with all these darn speed bumps. UK roads FTL.....

who cares. thats like, the beauty of having a slammed car.

ive hit my midpipe quite a few times. hasnt done anything bad but w.e. not gonna sacrifice a hot look, (not saying yours isnt) just cuz i may hit some speed bumps in the future. but once uve driven with a really low car, you learn to drive to avoid hitting anything.

and no, i didnt read anything you had put on your post. just looked at the pics, noticed if anyone below made a comment about the height, (which some1 did), then made mine.

bye.

doubt thats the lowest, would be very sad if it was tho.

thats why you go with Stance. they let you go really low. wish i had an updated pic without my license bracket there. got it removed and the holes filled.

edit: heres another pic of the rears to show how low mine is. and i dont scrape much. so you should definatley go lower.
