man this is too low for me. even on stock suspension im ridiculously paranoid when i drive. i have no idea how you do it bradley. im seriously thinking about switching to a polyurethane kit for extra margin for error when i actually do lower it. or a less aggressive/low frp kit.

It's not so bad Chiu. Only thing you have to watch out for are those speed bumps at your apartment complex. I bottomed out BAD the first time I came there and didn't take them as slow as I usually do. Just angle it and do 1 wheel at a time and you'll be ok.

If you want, we can compare side-by-side and I can show you how low I am just on springs compared to you with a kit. You can do it, just pay attention to the road more, LOL.

Yeah, it's not that bad most of the time. The problem comes in when there's unexpected crap in the road like a 2x4 or roadkill or something.

See you guys (edit: and girls) are lucky, with the Z whenever you do "bottom out" all you do is scrape that M brace most of the time, which is nothing. For us 240 owners all we do is scrape exhaust before we hit frame. Whenever you touch the exhaust it causes unnecessary stress on everything it's connected to. For example the turbo, manifold, and downpipe.

Next time you see my car take look under the drivers side. Just to get an idea of how low the exhaust sits.

+1 on my hatchback I bent 2 rims and on my Z I bent 1 rim, bust my front vertex lip TWICE from hitting unexpected sh*t on the road. the guy that fixed my vertex lip doesn't even want to fix it no more because it's to much work to fix.
