After sitting a bit the rear looks almost tucked and the front is pretty close too..
You say the ride is much softer? How is that didnt you start off with 17 inch wheels initialy or 18's? But still I take it thats a good thing is maybe a better ride with less bounce >?

yeah, I'm suprised that turn in is not as quick. Could this be a function of the tires and wheels, rather than the lowering springs?

I started w/ 18's, when I went to 19's the ride got softer because the stock tires suck, then when I went to eibach's the ride got even softer...Less bouncy too as well, but also softer overall... Rides more like an M3 now and less like a Boxster S (like it was before).

Default Just ordered the same springs...

I just ordered the same springs and should be getting them this week.

Did you have Nissan do the work for you? - And if not where would you recomend getting this work done?

About what did you have to pay?

What is your favorite color?
Do you know the air-speed velocity of an unmaiden swallow?

Wow, that is one of the best looking Zs here. Don't put a bodykit on, that would be a shame. I have yet to see a Z (or any car) that looks good with all that fiberglass crap hanging off of it. I don't care what brand of bodykit it is. They are all the same to me. Useless and ugly.

The car looks mean as is. Adding a bodykit would make it look silly and childish (IMHO of course).

Default Center Caps!

No dig here, I promise –

But... I just don’t understand it when someone slaps down some killer dough on some fine Volks + new rubber, and then leaves out the center caps on the rims!
