PeteWiix Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 So I keep bottoming out when I drive onto my driveway, have tried reversing on and driving in at an angle still happens now and agin, anyone have any advice on raising the ride height and how it will effect things?

Irn Bru Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This'll be new one for a Zed forum mate...... everybody is always asking about lowering their Zed. I can't think of anyway except new suspension all round, except maybe tyres with a higher profile than the standard 45, but no idea how that would affect the ride of the car. Presumably your drive is on a incline ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteWiix Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah kind of, the entrance is a communal driveway which goes slightly up then drops slightly and I catch it. Would rather not go down the route of expensive replacements if I can get away with for a few months as I've just spent out getting it put back to standard (yes I'm not normal) as any mods I do will be of my choice. A mate has suggested spacers but have only heard bad things about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cascade88 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 small blocks of wood / make small wood ramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteWiix Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Unfortunately its a communal driveway so the wood ramps are a no go, might try to find out who is responsible for the entrance though. Air cups good shout but will need to save a few pennies first, looking like I will have to go new suspension and/or tyres and hope that works. TY for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Get an air ride kit so you have best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Factory Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 You could buy a set of g35 shocks and springs, they are a couple of cms longer than the zed's ! learned this from a mad guy who built a rallycross 350z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Factory Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 or you could fit some preload bushings under your stock springs, increasing preload will raise car height... but I think you can't go more than 10-15mm with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Talk to the people you share the driveway with, see if you can fill the dip with cement. If you're paying for it, they probably won't mind. If it's enough of a drop to catch a standard Z on, it probably niggles them too, just not enough to do anything about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
