LRF4N Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Looking at the pics it needs lowered. But when I saw u in clarkston today I was maybe 30 yards or so away and from that distance it looked good, not too high But looking at the pics again I'd say lower it if u can I didn't lower my zed for the same reasons but if it's ur weekend car then ul manage fine. My skyline is low but speed bumps become a mini assault course rather than a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Now I like this thread much better than that other one of late about some tit trying the sell his new aquirely Volks - reckon that needs locking eh? Looking good for starters Jay and I do like the objective you are aiming at And what tit would that be ehh colin Yes if you could please lock it, that would be great Yup lexx... keeping the zed now... I test drove cayman s and m3 and didnt feel that they were 10k better than the zed. So going to keep it for a year or so and then think about 911s HOPEFULLY glad you hanged your mind, good choice love the look of those wheels and will be awesome when lowered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris AME Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I dunno what it is but I don't think they suit the car either, lowered a bit or not This is what I am aiming for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 So quick update: it seems I am doomed Most of the springs would take the car too low at the front, so that would be rubbing issues If I am honest, I really only want the rear dropped but you have to do front and back In an ideal world I would be able to get 10 or 15 at the front and 20 - 25 at the rear.

Dblock Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Do you still need control and camber arms when going low on the 370? As obviously that would be even more. 1k? A drop in the ocean for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What profile tyres have you got on the front? As i mentioned earlier they look bigger than mine... so if you got a smaller profile then maybe the springs wouldnt cause rubbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 So I gave the car and wheels a good wash today... I am a bit gutted I dont think I will be able to get springs to lower it ever so slight The main reason for this is that the wheels stick out past the arches lol so if I lower say 20mm on the rear it will rub BIG TIME So I think I am just going to have to get used to it. It doesnt look too bad but would have liked it lowered just a tad. My new bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ok folks I'm close to making Jay see sense. Went down today to show him my refurbed wheels. Smoked chrome finish from the wheel specialist. Quite a dark grey but a bit lighter when the light hits Could look good with a polished lip To add in colour without being too drastic I suggested coloured calipers. We discussed orange but I'm quite liking green Don't know if you need a lambo to pull off green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 It needs some sort of drop, the rears don't look right to me. My last nismos were done in smoked chrome by the wheel specialist, does look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
