I don't get the whole VIP trend. So in Japan, they're just now catching on to how rappers/ballers have been doing their cars over here for years?

Hi guys thanks for the positive comments... still waiting for the wheels to arrive. Will most definitely post up pics when they're on. Will most likely get wider tyres cause as someone said the wheels are very exposed to curbing...

I am going for the VIP look... I havnt lowered my car as yet any recommendations on suspension setup guys?

for a comfortable ride with adjustability (both dampening & ride height) i would suggest the Tein Comfort Sports (CS)...ever thought about the fabulous kit? crazy expensive but definitly an eye catcher and a jaw dropper : )

just my $.02

That kit isnt that much more than other kits to be honest.

I definately agree on the Teins or the Zeals.

I think i'll go with the Teins Comfort Sports... cant seem to find Zeals on ebay. Do I need to upgrade my sway bars?

The Fabulous kit is gonna cost an arm and a leg to import into Australia, I'm probably going to run V2 front bar, Nismo rear pods and either VS sides or Ings Sides.

Those should look real nice on your Z as long as you lower it at least 2". I wouldn't go any wider than 245 up front, you may have rubbing issues on the inside at full lock. You may even want to run a 5-10 mm spacer up front to bring the wheels out so they sit more flush/poked out. The rear will need at least 15-20mm spacer to sit aggressive with that skinny of a tire, or you can go 265-275 on the rear tire with a 15mm spacer.

+1, spacers are definetly needed, 10.5+25 rear isn't VIP, with that sized tire, its going to be tucked like a mother

You'll need at least some 275's for the rear. And thats still a slight stretch.

The Fabulous body kit is far and away the best looking kit I've seen for the Z.

Hey a$$wipe,

You're the dumbass that can't even spell it correctly. I NEVER said anything about the product itself. I said the name will throw a lot of people off. If I was going to sell a good quality product I would not use any words such as "Fabulous" to describe it.

Your profile speaks wonders of much of a asshat you are. So how are you "makin' yo money"?

Do you have your own korporashun?
