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.

i like the Piaa Super Rozza rims but the only other Z in town has a set an im not tryin to be like the bopsi twins an have the same rims, i like clean looking wheels, 5 stars split 5's nothing to gawdy. the lowest springs i have found are like 1.2" im pretty sure i can go lower then that i have more gap then that now on my 19"s

p.s. thanks for the people who posted pics of thier set ups. it gives me reat motivation

thought about these they are like the Piaa's scrawy step brother

only a 3.5" lip on the rear on a 19" tho id like to go bigger

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:
