dropped on JIC's and work
 
I posted some pics of my new work's about a month ago..finally got my JIC's and dropped it...here's some pics from a group drive to Mt Baker in the Seattle area.



specs:
-2.5" drop front/rear
-JIC-2 coilovers
-Work Emotion CR Kai 18X9.5 +20 gunmetal
-BFG KDW NT’s, front: 245/35/18, rear 275/35/18
-fenders not rolled/modified
-they've only rubbed a few times on the wheel well plastic (on ver yhard cornering)
-any decent size speed bumps are a no-no (found that out the first day I was dropped)
-haven't corrected the camber yet...that's a project install over the winter.

and now the pics:

That's super clean, did you paint your headlight housing? Looks good :D

it's 'blue batmobile's' overlays...up close they're not perfect - I'm going to redo them this winter (either same overlays or paint).

Damn I Likeeeeee

You might want to blurr out your lic plates! Is that canada?

ipcheck Oct 14, 2006 05:43 PM

looks perfect

bfdd Oct 14, 2006 06:00 PM

Curious, how much would you have to raise your coil overs to have no rubbing? BTW your car looks sweet man, nice setup.

call me old fashioned but, dang I like the scenery. Where is that at?

05-Z Oct 15, 2006 07:13 PM

Very clean.....I like the background too.

first350 Oct 15, 2006 07:25 PM

-it's Mt. Baker about 3 hrs north of Seattle, Wa.
-since installing the coilovers, I've only rubbed once or twice...I wouldn't raise the car b/c of rubbing issues. But the car does bottom out on speed bumps - I'm planning to raise it about 1/2" (this is my daily driver and it's just too impractical to make a U-trun at every speed bump)

just blacked them out...why do many ppl blurr out their plates? (seems like some do it, and others don't...never heard why that is)

thanks,
Peter

there is no difference

smokedout350z Oct 15, 2006 07:50 PM

i have to comment twice..love the slam on the car

Let me tell you, the pics do not even do Peter's car justice! His car just looks flat out mean driving down the street, so low and so black! I love it. That's my red Z in the pics, lowered on the Hotchkis springs, and the stance looks like that of an SRT-4 compared to Peter's! I'm going to have to work on that.....

Love the drop

thanks Steve! I think ours cars looked good together ~ I never understood why so many liked VOLKS rims until I saw your wheels...looks really clean. Hopefully we'll have another group drive next year when it stops raining. (by then, you'll be lowered even more and I'll have my sound system installed)
