because of the grip R888 offers do u know a street tire that would work similar or close to R888
so if no for 305/45 .. would a 305/35 fit ?
i need them because of TT kit power (545whp) for extra grip no sideways if and when i race
note its hardly rain her in kuwait

305/35 would probably be ok. R888s aren't that sticky when they're not in operating temperature. A good street tire, like Kumho XS, Hankook R-S3, BS RE-11, Dunlop Star Spec, Kumho V710, or a MT ET Street Radial, etc., would probably be better. I used to run the BFG Drag Radial on the rear of my high HP machine and really liked them until I tried to take a very mild turn - on the highway - at speed.

I know how you feel, the speed bumps here are a killer (not to mention the potholes).
I stayed with stock suspension because i knew i wouldn't be able to go anywhere lowered.
I got 18" 255/40 F and 275/40 R Toyo T1R and its working great.
Here is how my car looks (Keep in mind it is still under construction)

IMO in the end I would go with another coilover system, if it was my car I would have pulled the Jics off the car the moment I got home with it, not a product I would own, even if they were free, they'd still get pulled.

You were "told" your Jics are set to their highest. Have you verifed this by you turning a wrench yourself? Reason I ask, most coilover system's for the Z do not force you into that much of a drop.

i have to jump in, as you have all been ridiculously helpful so far, almost uncharacteristicly so..
Its a BUMP, not a pump.
Speed bump.
speed pumps are what you pull with an ugly chunky butt girl.. and then run away in shame.
I now retreat to my desk to actually work again..

ya, there's no way that -1.5" is the highest ride setting. You should be able to put the ride height back at stock, which is 100% what I would do with all those bumps.
Also like someone else mentioned, the resonators are probably whats banging as well. Get them cut out if you dont wanna raise too much.
