As it seems, you dont like it......dont open the thread
STFU, its a dumb thread and his answers could hae been found within a few minutes of searching. This is a forum for information, but when a question is asked and threads are made ABOUT THE SAME TOPIC, it gets to be a pain.

This is why this forum has a search function.

also whats the best way to slam with out airshocks or coilvers that cost 2G's? all the spings i have seen only lower like 0.8"s

someone please point me in the right direction with some rim choices an such

Thanks
How much exactly are you looking to spend on wheels? and what are your taste? Its difficult to recommend wheels when no one knows the style of wheels (mesh, 5 spoke, 10 spoke, etc) that you are looking for.

You can easily get a set of BC coilovers for around $1050 shipped that will get your car pretty low.

The Z can definitely accommodate a nice lip if desired. Keep in mind if you are going to go with a BBK or not because clearances will become an issue then. It's all about manipulating:

-camber
-ride height
-Wheel size
-Wheel width
-Wheel design
-offset
-Brake setup
-Tire brand
-Tire size

Spending money to get a custom wheel is always the best choice if you want the best effect. Here is a link to a thread I started about Brake Caliper/wheel clearance:

No doubt the forum search is not ideal.

Let Google do the searching for you. enter this search string:
