silver z needs more low, nothing wrong with it, i think it looks good!!! just not low enough to match your setup of aggressivness!
but please dont try and justify your height with excuses when myself/toby/royal/at/lito/ etc etc etc drive daily about an 1- 1/2 inch off the ground with bigger wheels/more aggressive setups (12/11/10 -offsets)....
And royal_t...post this ****n vid already...lookin at those shots make me want to see the art in motion! Are you on the new prototype coils in those pix/event? or are you still rockin the stance gr pro's? if stances...are they maxed out? and if on the new suspension how does it ride at that height?
thnx.
Toby- you got my vote fa sho man.. When i get back from the desert, after wheels are recieved, ima have to get with you for help with my stance setup/suspension if you dont mind.

Sorry guys for all these teasers thats all I have for now.. But I will post up vid once its done by the AWOL team. Here is a vid of a teaser for season 2 they did a shoot for Mike B.., So I can't wait for mine...
lixam,
I am on the prototype 'ZeroClearance' and they ride like a dream at this height. I'm still doing the R&D on them right now. And I think I want the front Shock bodies to be shorten another 30mm, for best performance out of them.. Trying to give you guys the best suspension out there..

Royal, are only 20 of the "ZeroClearance" systems coming out for the Z? I remember hearing something about this for the e30 suspension they just made...

I like the wide stance. The rear mudflaps are making it look good. I don't have the mudflaps, I'm guessing without those there, it would have too much tire from the rear don't you think? I was planning on running wider tires than you too, +0 with 245/275 or maybe now +12 with 255/285.

Thought i'd post my new setup here, of course it doesnt belong in this thread anymore but i just wanted to give you guys one last update. 275/30 front and 305/30 rear 19x10.5 +19 front and 10.5 +14 rear. Car is extremely dirty btw
****ERS ****ED MY RIMS UP!!! Im going there tomorrow to talk to the general manager

Toby, gotta say I miss your beautiful stance/drop, but that rear looks means man. Take some pictures from the side to see how low you are. What offset are you at now, +22 or still running spacers?

i'll take some pics soon, im tucking tires up front and no gap out back. Im still doing some adjustments, im at +14 out back and there is pretty much no rubbing unless i do a sharp turn. I wanted a +1 camber out back but my eibach camber arms are maxed at -3, so i slapped on a 8mm for the mean time.
