Default Lowered the Nismo

Just finished the install this morning, lowered on Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC's

I guess i could use this thread as a follow up to my accident from last year, since I never posted the end result. Heres the old thread:https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...ked-558-a.html

As far as how the car feels, It's a little softer, but still somewhat stiff. There's almost zero body roll, but I wont really know whether or not the coilovers have a negative affect on the race track. I'll know on the 27th, I have a time attack competition. I guess we'll see what happens.

The rear could come down a bit to match the front, IMO. Otherwise, looks good

I have my ride height setup very similar. I like to have alittle wedge on lowered cars. His gap maybe alittle larger then mine. Hard to tell with the pics being at a distance.

Lower would be good for me but I already have trouble with speed bumps, driveways, etc., from the stock height so as soon as the Potenzas wear out, I'm getting wider and shorted Hankooks (265.35.18 & 295.30.19) and calling it a day.

Thanks for the compliments guys. The rear is maxed out, and is as low as it'll go(although I may an idea how to drop it a little bit more). I think what I'm going to do is, raise the front about an 1/2 inch, maybe more so it matches the rear a little closer.

^^ I think a 1/2 inch raise on the front will look better imo, it looks good but... just a tiny bit 'off'.

Galvatron - yeah ditto lol pretty much.

Here's a close enough side shot of my Nismo lowered on HKS Hypermax III's. I'm not maxed out but have no desire togo any lower.



I can clear 90% of the speed bumps around here! But there are a few that I rub on. I'm always cautious with dips and entrances.

If Nismo_558's rear is maxed out then I agree, raise the front alittle more so not to draw to much attention to the noticable change in wheel gaps from front to rear as it sits now.

^ That looks nice, I may try and shoot for something like that for the front, and leave the rear where it is. I'll do some tinkering around with the front and post up some pics of the new stance.

Looks good. I agree with the small lift in the front.
