This has probably been asked hundreds of times, but is there any difference in how low you can go in the rear by running oem vs true configurations?

I'm afraid i just don't understand this look at all, i mean each to his own but seriously does 350Z AL think his Z looks cool. I think it would look really hot with far less camber as its dumped on the floor & i like that, but i wouldn't fancy going down the freeway in that at anything over 30mph. I bet it doesn't drive round corners so much as hops. Like i say each to his own, this is just something i wouldn't do to mine.

Yes, I do think my Z looks cool... Also, my Z hasn't been posted in this thread for quite some time, so I think you must be mistaken somebody else's Z for mine.

Here is a pic of mine:

It drives just fine, except for speed bumps. I've done over 800 miles in one day with it like that without issues. It's been over 100mph numerous times as well. Corners pretty decently also, stays nice and flat, with a bit of throttle through the corner it gets into a nice controlled slide if you wish it to do so.

Typically the people who have never tried a low car with stretched tires are the ones who seem to know the most about how "bad" and "dangerous" they are......

yes, but some true wont go as low as others and vise versa.

Do you know how to get replacement struts under warranty? I've got a set laying around with leaking rear struts, and I've emailed everyone listed on the website and messaged the guy on ebay I bought them from. Not a word back.

With MDUs you may have to find a different company to do the rebuild. I wouldn't expect much product support from them.

Dang, was hoping I'd just get sent a new pair so I can sell them. Maybe a rebuilder can seal them properly for good?

No warranty on mdu's but you can send them to FEAL rally suspension and they'll rebuild them for 120 a piece
