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.

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.

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.
