great work...
i want to go lower actually. But i scrape pretty bad everytime i get out my driveway (not sure how worried i should be). I want to go with wider tires too since i get a new nick on my wheel lip every week

Right now im gonna upgrade my interior and engine bay. Exterior is pretty much done.

well and the front lip, i thought it would look great without it but no lol. Slammed with 18s and no lip is fine but with 19s its hard to pull off with 100% stock body

i agree, i can push the wheels out more if i wanted. The thing is im running a 15mm spacer on top of a 7mm out back. Im not sure what the widest tire i can run with a +0 offset and i really want to do no less than 265/35 to protect my lip from rock chips. I will get 265/35 and if it fits with the +0 then ill leave it, if not ill have to go with the +7.

i actually love the hks as well, i just wanted a deeper sounding exhaust and it being so cheap just made the decision so much easier. The reason i went with the non Titanium tip is because i didnt want people to think im trying to fool them, im proud i have an XO2 lol. Plus im not a fan of ti tips..i think they look tacky. And no i dont go to greensboro lol

This is easily one of my favorite Z's on the forums. Lowering the car and pushing the wheels out really brings out the beauty of the OEM body panels. Veilside lip is so subtle yet effective. Very well done!

EDIT: My comments above are directed at the pictures on the first page. I'm not a fan of super-tucked tires. The amount of drop, tuck and camber in the original photos was just right for me.

Lower! I didn't think that was possible!

I am in the process of learning all about driving while low, but dayum, your ride makes me look lifted! Driving this stance must require new levels of caution and huge, brass gonads

+1000. I guess some people just care more about looks than practicality/performance...

thanks guys

there is nothing practical about this setup. But if i wanted practicality i woulda bought a camry. And about performance, its still the same Z. Goes pretty quick in a straight line lol. At the track probably not,..but im not a track type of guy.

how much negative camber do you have for the front and rear? If you don't mind me asking?

Ohh and also tire size for the front and rear?

Thanks
