Pimm Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 After the link below i got there in the end... http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... highlight= This is the result after i decided to do it myself and this is one of the best mods i have done so far. I have been out in the car and the ride is firmer and feels more control on tight bends but not to hard. I have parked in a few car parks and walked away from the car to keep looking back and cannot believe how different it looks Before my few mods After the Eibach springs and spacers fitted I think a plenum is next on my list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spen Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Nice work there, can't beat the satisfaction of doing something yourself. I'm loving the slightly lower stance and the fact the wheels now fill the arches. I want some spacers now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 A great stance and a fairly cheap mod in the general scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greido Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Your car looks great lowered, been thinking about this myself for a while, out of interest, how much were the springs and how much do you reckon it would have costed to have them fitted?

tmJak Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Looks improved mate. Would get mine lowered if it wasn't for the speed humps everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was down at the gym on the weekend and made the misses get out of the car because of the speed bump but the exhaust or something still scraped I also cannot get into blockbusters now OK just but i have learnt not to go over bumps straight but at a angle and that seems to do the trick. All this outways the handling i now have and the car really sits low and looks Happy Days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check out how much clearance I have getting into my drive and possibly be in touch CS. I lowered my an FTO I had about 5 years ago and really liked the results, used Tein springs and not only did I much prefer how the car looked and rode, I felt it handled better too. Thanks again, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givememorepower Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ey up that looks mint! Did you get your springs from CS? Also to change your springs do you need an extraction/compression tool ??????? Do you get any 'sag' or rubbing from lowering by 20mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

givememorepower Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ah. Might be less painful to get the garage to whip them in and out then rather than buy a tool I'll only use once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
