anyone lowered a 350Z with VDC?
The dealer... has to be one of the worst sources of information... strange no?
Eibachs, about 1" lower all around on a Touring with VDC. 20K miles. No problem as far as I know...

ghost11...
The answer to your question is maybe. I think most (as evidenced above) have had no VDC problems with dropping their car.
In my case, I did have a problem. We used the B+G springs and let them settle for about a month before getting an alignment. during that month, my VDC wigged out... Often, i would get the slip light and the VDC Off light to come on at the same time and stay on until I recranked the car. Not always, but often.
Wound up getting my alignment done at Nissan and found that the lowering threw off something in the VDC causing it to trip a code. if we would have reset the code without aligning, it would have just happened again. Since I was already there for alignment, we did that, then reset the code and I haven't had a problem since.
Bottomline... if you do have a problem, it is likely to be something easily rectified.

I had to roll my 1/4s to not scrub, but my fronts were fine. Of course, I'm running 275/40/18s in the back. Wish I could tell you my offset, but I don't remember. Seems like I have offsets of +25 and +12 or something like that, but I don't remember which front and which is back.
