this was when i was practically tucking rim
BAM, the wheels actually stuck out more and lower two days before this meet lol
i just did with mine out back. It helps A LOT if your trying to avoid rim/fender collisions lol. Pretty much i raised the preload as high as i can and full clicks clockwise.

ha...this is getting crazy..funny how it all starts...
my fender are pulled to fit the 18x11 -17 out back and 18x10 -25 up front.
and my susp is preloaded and dampeners stiff...No rubbing in the rear anymore..NOw just gotta setup the front..
Smashed a curb and demolished the front lip...Resonator on the nismo exhaust is scraping speed bumps that are at the gate of my base and now put a hole in it, **** is getting ridiculous..Gonna have the resonator hacked off the nismo mid pipe and replaced with straight pipe hopefully with more clearance...and gonna wrap the bottom of my stock bumper in some vinyl for now. Had to re attach right side skirt cause it was getting pounded on like a **** star from people kicking it/checking theyre shoe clearance and speed bumps from me nearly teeter tottering on them.. Had to get rear bumper rear attached cause apparently my wheels are throwing up rocks and hitting the bolts loose that held up the Ings bumper...So yeah. This thing is such a headache but worth it about 98% of the time..
But im assuming that alot of these problems dont apply to have the thread cause they are stock bodied/stock exhaust ish..So im ranting on behalf of the full kitted/aero/lip/full exhaust guys lol..
Sorry for the rant. Just thought id share since i never really hear about the downsides to daily driving a car like these.
But like i said.. I got 99 problems but stance aint one! Keep it up guys. That meet is gonna be amazing..Wonder if id be able to make it out!!?!? Blue tape anyone?!?! lol

could not agree with you more. single exhaust suck because of how low they sit. my can and resonator are ****ed up from speed bumps and street fractures.
im going to get a muffler shop to take the resonator out and refab me a new Y pipe so that it sits higher because my flex pipes are almost gone lol
sucks to ride low but its the only way to GO!
BUT...
There's something undeniably wicked seeing one flushed with the right height, a classic wheel and optimal tire setup.

I wish i had taken those pics bro! but i didnt i found them online reading about IR2010 lol. So i decided to check the person's link in Flickr and found a couple of your z(mainly yours) royals and the rest so decided to post them. Super Toma!.
370 looks nice topsec.
first one i've seen done so great.
look forward to seeing a shoot with johzp.
*edit - congratz on the HF feature
royal - sick as always. that 1st b&w pic is money, feels like it should have one of those inspirational quotes at the bottom.
in for those prototypes too. going with springs until then.

Thanks alot man. I wanted to raise the bar on 370z fitment and be different. Yeah a shoot with johnz would be sick.
Thanks bro, I wanted to be stretched and at the same time have a lil meat on there.
Hahaha. Your the man bro. Im down for the cruise. You should have posted your setup along time ago. Loving the poke.
Thanks alot yoshi, but nothing like your sick setup. Congratz on the award, well deserved. If it was concept racing, then yes. Reason being is that these meister's were taking forever that I already wanted to order a different and more aggressive setup. Than I would sell the meister's when I got them.

that sucks lixam
you arent the only one tho
in lafayette where i live, lately all the local neighborhoods and around all the schools/colleges they are putting SPEED LUMPS, these are no ordinary speed bumps, they are bigger than your regular speed bump
the only good thing about them is they are made of a soft rubber material
everytime i go over one i bottom out everything; lip, front brace, sideskirts, rear m brace and exhuast. and ive almost gotten stuck to where i had to practically do a burn out to get off of them if you go too slow
these are the main reason why i cant go as low as some of yall, but im still close
