Default New pics after lowering

Some new pics after lowering the car, the body kit is in the shop getting painted... I used Eibach's for now, if it's too low after installing the kit I may go and get coilovers.

TE37 rims by Volk...they are a very popular choice by members of this board. look around some and you will see a variety of Zs with different colored TE37 rims.

Well.... I think it is his preferences though.... no one will understand besides him.... and I think that is cool because you can only fetch 1 person driving z, but 4 driving a m3 vert. I changed my m3 to a z because I have another 2 cars which can fit 5 people each at home.... and why did I change my m3? because I don't have the ability to run 4 cars at home and I love the Zs look better, but somehow I miss my m3 power... it is just a trade off that you have to make....

cheers,

My family is really into cars so we always have a few sitting around, a GS400, X5 4.4i, 745I, LX470, the M3 SMG cab., and of course the Z.

That's the best mod I have, except his eyes came off because it got windy one day in the rain and i guess they just popped off. he's blind now.

The ride is MUCH softer, equal to the M3 now... The initial turn in however is not as quick, but there is more lateral grip and understeer has decreased significantly. The car also has less body roll.. It's almost too low, I wish the drop was only .5 inches and maybe .7 inches in back. After sitting a bit the rear looks almost tucked and the front is pretty close too..

IMO one of the best looking Zs on the site!! When I first ordered the Z I was dead against ordering silver because I thought everyone would have it.
The Gunmetal however sets off the color. and you removed the decals on the wheels to. You have good taste!
