^^ I agree. Cause I have seen some cars (Zs also) that have full kits and at a decent height drive soo careful on the road like they are going to destroy something.. Then I fly by them and they our like "WTF how does he do that?" Well ****n drive your car and stop being a ***** about it.. Point blank..

werd.. i take on the 240/drifter route way of doing things...and basically its...go hard or go home...**** dont last forever. might as well suck it up and hope for the best....nothing is cooler than watching a properly stanced car goin hard.......only time you needa drive like a ***** is in a pothole/bump infested area....
just my opinion. but that probably why demolished my origin lip first week i had it..lol

Preciate it man, i wish i can go lower but i cant anymore. I moved back to durham and i cant get in and out of my driveway lol.

Im sure he didnt mean anything by it, most guys that run a more conservative setup usually think its impossibe to get around "slammed" so you should take that as a compliment since you drive yours like your stock lol

+1 being slammed helped me drive with more awareness. I can drive any slammed car with ease now. When i was tucking rims id drive faster around town than my friends on springs lol. And raising my car up its almost like driving my car at stock height again (even tho im still lowered about 3" from stock lol).

again i made a 6hr drive both ways to this meet + ~2months, and look how low i am..remember thats stock body so my frame/exhaust kiss the ground 90% of the time lol

i feel like bags only belong on semi trucks, busses, and over ugly chicks heads, but hey that's just me. i have much more respect for a static drop, but as long as the fitment is good, bags are alright...

^^ LOL,, I feel you pain Jonny. I'm just getting tired of all this hate.. Just going to use it as fuel to my fire... Big things to come in the summer..


Oh and "how do I feel about bags on a Z?" well I fell like they don't belong on a Z cause its a sports car, Bags to me belong on VIP cars and bagged trucks, Not a Z.. I can see if you used the Roberto Cups or the Phantom Cup Kits. With those you still keep the performance of your coilovers and just us the Cups to raise your car in sticky situations.. This is my opinion of course.

My vote for quote of the month

What's up with all the haters in the thread the past few days. If you don't like it, GTFO. Nobody cares what you think about us, our cars or our style. Enjoy driving your "practical" Z's while we do the same things, go the same places and look thousands of times better doing it.

seems to be the most common opinion which is understandable. wheels are gold meisters. 19x10 et-7 and 19x11 et-7.

Toby, what model Sparco's are those and are they comfortable. I'm in the market but I heard the Torino's are very firm.(Yours look like Milanos?)

Theyre the R100. THeyre one of the cheaper models out there. And theyre comfortable enough for me but i wouldnt say theyre as comfortable as stock cloth seats. Theyre pretty firm but for the price you cant beat it lol.

Bags are cool, but I consider it cheating. I am not hating or anything, or trying to start beef, thats just the way i think of it haha.

also understandable... to be honest, new england doesn't have a car scene like down south,very few stanced cars aside of VW's. so i don't really have much to prove around here. just wanted a clean aggressive Z that wont get destroyed.

Lovely grammar buddy. I never hated on slammed cars, I use to own a WRX which was into the whole HellaFlush scene, so I'm not hating. You need to calm down. With the Z I'll probably be running more aggressive wheels than you, 19x9.5/10.5 +0 and maybe running negative in the front with spacers. I'm not hating on anyones rides, I don't care if you guys are scraping on flat roads, I don't care what you do cause it's your car, but I was just trying to answer Royal's question when he asked what he meant by "functional". No need to get your panties in a bunch, and reread your messages before posting.
