I love your car. I wish my car looked like that. I would suggest Tanabe's GF210 and your ride will be sick. They are on stock springs right?

I kind of feel like the car looks good, but would look better a bit lower.

Thanks my man!

Last ?: what about locking lugs, such as those that came from the dealer, can I use those?

Your RAYS lugnuts will probably be black. One chrome wheel lock + 4 black lugnuts =

I don't think the key for the lock will fit in the hole either because IIRC, the RAYS lugnuts are smaller in diameter than the stockers.

On my old car I got a set of wheel locks that matched the lug nuts that came with the LMGT4s. Got them from mynismo.com. I dont know if they still sell them. There were made by McGards.

Does anyone think the bronze Nismo 18's would look good on a Redline Red 350z? I haven't seen a Red 350z with bronze and I'm tempted...

I really think the silver nismo wheels look the best on PPW.....18/19....doesn't matter, they just look the cleanest on that color.

Well, the little aluminum-like colors of the car like the emblems and handles stand out more on white.....and it's easier to see the similarities with the wheels and those parts on that color.

I think PPW is just the cleanest color anyways, the most subtle color. On CS, they blend a lot.

I've had CS, PPW and SS 350Z's.......I've had a little taste of everything.

I'm really just givin' it up for the two guys on this page with the white Z's that posted up. Their cars look awesome, and I want them to know it.

sorry, never saw this response until now. These are not stock springs. I have 2007 Nismo Edition Z take off suspension. It actually raised the car up about 1/4" front and 1/2" rear. The car used to sit lower. I've run Hotchkis with my cars.

I really don't want to mess with camber wear. I know parked and on this forum it looks 4x4, but for daily driving I'm happy with it...and the ride/handling. It does have a bit of a muscle car stance to it in person, and I'm cool with that :-)
