Default show me your drop

I have a hard time figuring out how high/low the Z stands

If you have pics of droped Z, post them... along with the drop in inches.

I'm particularly interested in drops with 17" and 18" wheels, but anything will do.

For all those who've dropped, how the ride? Better than stock while cruising? Less body roll? EM-EFER sparked my interest with this.

Thanks all

Rides much better! Its a cheap mod if you install them yourself. I took my front assembly(strut/spring) to a shop and they put the new springs on for $20.

I just put the Tanabe GF210 on my 06' 350Z and the drop is 1" in the front and 1.2" in the back. The top of my shoe hits the bottom of the front splash gaurd and would be worried about going any lower. the ride is slightly rougher but not by much, but the performnce has been greatly improved. I took my favorite on ramp to I95(it's like something out of GT4) and the car gripped better and I took it 15mph faster and the car could have done it faster if I had bigger *****
