Payco Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 All Sorry if this topic has been repeated more times than the Wizard Of Oz but I want to bounce the subject around once more. I am running my z on a set of 19x10 ET20 rear and 19x9 ET 20 front Rota GTR's. The arches arent rolled on the car. I have reached the decision that to finish the look of the car off now I need to lower her. Not going down the coilovers route as I have no plans to track her and dont want to spend another £1500+ on her. Springs are my prefered route to getting her lowered. I want to drop 25mm or even 30mm. I know I will need front and rear camber arms and geo re set but want to know what people are running and what experience they have of them. Its not my daily driver so I can plan to avoid speed humps where possible. One concern is my very expensive Mines CF front lip which I really DONT want to destroy. On the face of it my research is leading me towards e-bachs. Can a few of you share some feedback. Any photos of your z dropped on Rotas would be appreciate. Thanks Again Payco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi mate I've just for some Elbach springs to my z and I'm running some 20inc rims with 275/30 tyres on the rear and 245/30 on the front just ordered the camber adjustment for the back and there is plenty off room between the arch . Not driven her yet as awaiting the delivery off the arms Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 One things for certain your mines lip will get trashed, you won't need front camber arms either just rear and tie bolts. Personally if your worried about the lip tein maybe the way to go, a smaller drop but still decent enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 As Arron says with a 30mm drop your spoiler will be a lot closer to the road, the Teins give an average drop of 17mm at the front and 14mm at the back. You wont require camber arms with them as there is enough adjustment as standard. We stock the Teins and Eibach springs as well as the Eibach/SPC camber arms. Drop me a PM if I can help Ewen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks Arran. Thats what i was thinking but then i thought would the teins drop her enough ?. Does anyone have any photos of a z dropped on teins at 17mm and 14mm. Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tein's mate if you want your lip to stay as one! Best of both worlds with the Tein, a bit of drop without being forced to avoid small ramps, and still carries off a nice look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Tbh just buy coilovers hsd dt are a steal at 575 quid Isn't the drop on the rear of those a bit crap without drilling new mounting points? Or is that their other model for 350z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thats the hr version not the dt set Ahhh, so it's the more expensive ones that don't fit then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 They fit but dont sit nicely on the rear so you have to drill the bottom bracket further down. Not for me thanks plus with the hr version you'll need to rear turrets strengthening due to the full coilover rear. Dual tech are brilliant once of the best mods ive done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Love your whole set up Bob but I will destroy my Mines lip if I go that low.Looks like you are running the same set up as the chaps in the men's luge in the Winter Olympics..
